"Mature" War Game

Flipping through a comic book recently I, a full grown adult enjoying children's literature, was nonetheless galled to come across this boastful endorsement contained within a video game advertisement:

The ad included these screen shots from the game:

The fact that this "mature" war game features a cousin of Ash Ketchum facing down a tripple-turreted goof tank made me wonder what the makers of Advance Wars consider "maturity" to be. A visit to their website, however, confirms that their game does indeed take a stern, adult look at the grisly realities of war, as reflected in the following screen captures.

    I don't think i understand your post.

    Edit: Maybe by maturity they mean they don't glorify it, instead relegating it to the serious matter that it is.

    Edit edit: And that quote isn't from the makers of the game anyway. Someone else said it. You could argue that the makers or publisher or someone had to agree with the statement for it to make it in the ad, but yanno.

    God damn, I just realized you registered to post this. Disregard.

    So yeah, unfunny, and a sitewhore. Well, that explains the unfunny.


    edit: Also: "He kir me with clitorectomy scissors if I giving birth to American shame monster?"

    Racism and a complete lack of tact to boot! Looks like we're going for a home run...

    Yeah, I'm pretty ashamed to have fallen for his trap, but I reported it anyway.

    Dear Mrs. Fried,

    We regret to inform you that your son, Deep, was killed in the line of duty serving this great Sitewhore nation. Reports point to his death by "clitorectomy scissors". He will never live up to the mediocre potential he displayed on the battlefield.
