Personally I delight at being insulted by urinal strainers.

You'd be surprised.
Also, at least it doesn't say "Duke Nukem is going to make you his bitch."

It'd be pretty awkward to walk into a bathroom and see a guy holding his cell phone camera as close the urinal as he can.

Looks slightly unsanitary but I don't know anything about men's bathrooms (except that they smell bad and have glory holes).
Isn't it a little awkward to be peeing onto a skull, even if it's an ad? I'd be creeped out if I saw something like that in my toilet.
Still, clever idea. It would just weird me out.

If it were an actual skull, I might be a little freaked out. Since it's just a drawing it's just another thing in the way of my urine.
Actually even a real skull wouldn't bother me. I would pee on just about anything.

also that's pretty much how mens bathrooms are. Sometimes you get the rubber thing, other times you get the scented "cake" thing that;s really just a hunk of hard floral scented goo

I'm not sticking my penis through anything that could potentially have a blade on the other side.

I have never been in a restroom where there was a glory hole. You must live in a bad part of town.
There was some grafitti once that said if you were there at 5:00, some dude would give you a BJ. I checked my watch, it was 5:01, and I got the heck out of there.

if you took all of the money they have spent talking about and bigging up about Duke Nukem over the past years, and instead slid that cash over to a dev team - we could be playing this new DN game on a re-issued classic games label via a dosbox emulator... right now

Anyone else think that the Vaporware is starting to take physical form? That website dukeisback.com makes me think they have more to share.

The first reaction was a new iPhone game. Or a DS title. Or some other Duke-related product OTHER than Duke Forever. :P

Wow, so their looking for a new Duke Nukem? I think they should use that bitchy vampire from twilight.

Wow. Video game advertising just keeps getting more and more creative. We'd better tone it down for our own good, before huge video game robots swarm Manhattan shouting "Buy the PS5 lolz."

was that "they're so hot right now" thing from zoolander?

Hahaha, I love when advertisers get crafty, though I've seen this kind of advertising somewhere before. No privacy anymore! But for some reason I like it. How about the ladies restrooms? Go peep in there.

Please tell me that's not a picture of the next Joyswag giveaway.

Did anyone else look at those screenshots on the site and go "It took them 12 years for this!?"

I guess someone saw 'I Love you, Man' and decided to take the film's advice.

Atleast they're not advertising on tombstones like acclaim did for Shadow man, that was the worst ad campaign ever

It's the same game?! Does anyone not notice this!? They're all the same game! It's like i'm on crazy pills!

In Britain, they pronounce it "yer-EYE-nal."
You're welcome, internet.

Urinal ad? I would've thought ad-men more likely to go with 'you call that a gun'?

So when the GDC is over, do people take those home?
