Swedish XBOX 360 advertisement - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Snoogans · 11-24-2005, 12:34 AM

This caught my attention today.
I was checking my Hotmail and suddenly my eyes wandered over to an advertisement:
”Win Swedens first XBOX 360”.
At the bottom of the advertisement, I guess the controllers are supposed to give the impression of an ”X”, but I don’t know… Am I the only one seeing a swastika?

Well, I guess you aren't the only one then- now when you mention it, I do think it looks like a swastika, sadly...

ObieX · 11-24-2005, 12:53 AM

lol yea, i don't see how anyone could possibly have missed that. Noticed it the second i saw the picture and before i read what you had to say.

Kinda but don't read too much into it, beside, swastika is supposely be a good luck for Abrahamic religions

Maybe the Swedish advertiser is just trying to rub off some good luck on you eh?

ObieX · 11-24-2005, 12:58 AM

I don't need anyone rubbing anything off on me. =X
