Space Invaders/Sept. 11 art exhibit stirs controversy [update]

Aug 22nd 2008 1:40PM (Joystiq)
I don't really know how I feel about it. Anything 9-11 related tends to make me think a bit harder about the material and I can see how that can spark anger in some people, especially those who lost people close to them.

On the other hand, I see these people playing the game and even a toddler playing it and they are laughing and having a good time. Those symbols don't mean the same thing to them as they do to Americans so you can't fault them for it (if they even recognized the symbols at all).

I'd say a polical message - maybe. Art - maybe. Could he have gotten the same message across more tastefully - definately. I think the fact that the artist is from France, and not from the United States is the whole point. They see it from a different perspective than we do and quite possibly in his mind it is a tribute.

If good intentions are truly there, who is in the wrong - the person that created the questionable material or the ones that are interpreting it incorrectly?

So you've never heard of Billy Blanks (Tae-Bo)?

Arguably many others could fall into this category such as Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda. There are quite a few "fitness celebrities" out there.

You don't have to like them, but you can't argue their popularity.

Survey reveals Rock Band 2 concept box art

Looks like one is trying to put the vocal aspect in the foreground, while the other is more of a guitar/drum approach with the vocalist barely visible in the background.

On an impulse decision (which it wouldn't be because I'm a fan and don't give a crap about the boxart) I would go with the blue cover.

I read through his objection, trying not to be biased in my opinion, but I stopped reading when the dumbass started babbling about Nazis.

I think we should all just sit down and enjoy some ice cream.

I stared at it and something hit me about sweeney todd for the wii for about 5 seconds but I lost it. I could see it, but I can't get it to make mathmatical sense.

Maybe it will come back to me over a cold one later.
