Apparently, nobody at the Ministry of Propaganda looked past how wholesomely Ronnie Raygun 'Murican the logo appears to be and realized that it represents a game in which you spend most of your time violently killing hordes of the same kind of right-wing white supremacist Founding Father-worshiping religious lunatics who watch Fox News.

That's hilarious, because the people at Fox are exactly the type of people that game is mocking. Not only that, it's mocking them for having a mindset that causes them to use phrases like "defending the homeland" in such an ostentatious manner.

Doesn't look nearly as cool as the Bioshock logo.

Like the old Conservapedia logo:
with its hidden message?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Because it's only vaguely similar in that it's red font on a banner with a blue background. I think some of you guys sit around all day watching fox news and finding ways to bash them. Maybe try playing outside more?

It's also that the background shield is exactly the same shape, with exactly the same design, and exactly the same stars.
Can we not have some fun with the irony of that, without people going to the same old dishonest method of making us look silly by pretending this is all we do all day? It's the oldest con trick in the book, attacking the messenger when you can't handle the message.

Come the hell on. The Olsen twins don't even look that similar.

I don't really care about making fun of Fox news. But it doesn't really look the same to me much less exactly the same. Number of stars is different, the flag is different, background is fairly different, shape of the lower shield is different. The coloring is similar, but that's because it's American colors. I think it's a stretch at the very best and I think it's silly the things you guys will criticize Fox for just about anything because you disagree with their political opinions. There are probably 10 threads on here bashing Fox for everyone 1 bashing any other news station, even though the whole lot of them are a bunch of dishonest cuntbags shoveling their garbage down your throats. Turn off that shit and go outside.
