The Shrine

I think this is moderately funny (and a good indication of why Acclaim's not doing very well):

It's pretty old, but still...it involves a plan to advertise some horror game on people's tombstones.

My soul would never rest if some wank slaped a big fucking Turok decal on my stone.

you want funny. a guy from my local comic shop died and his tombstone is a giant green lantern logo...hehehe

Hey, it's better than the people with the MK dragon logo tattooed to their arm.

Acclaim died last year; I guess a lot of people here missed that one.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with advertising on headstones if they are going to allow advertising on the sides of buildings in the form of 100 meter wide projection TVs. Why should the church have a problem? They are advertisement firms themselves; they advertise their version of Christianity with their own little twists.

Though I'm most likely going to donate whatever the hell is left of me to medical science upon my death, a hypothetical remembrance of me that has some idiot's horrible game plastered all over it gives even me the shivers.
