Ghostbusters: The new Hitler?
jebussaves88 | 9:14 AM on 08.08.2008 18 comments


I have recently seen a lot of buzz surrounding the upcoming Vivendi game of Ghostbusters, the film which brought you Bill Murray and one of school-disco's most popular tunes. Despite this too rather ugly developments, there did seem to be quite a lot of despair at the idea it may never be published. Now, it has been confirmed that someone out there will take it up and release it to all you desperate 80's throwbacks. But here are some reasons why I will not be queing up for it:

1. Richard Gere has been linked to some vicious internet rumours, most vicious being that he is an active member of the "gerbiling" community. What the internerds don't tell you is that said Gerbil was trained to sexually assault Gere by Dan Aykroyd, who trained said rodent using a trumpet to represent Gere's souther entrance.

2. A Ghostbuster's cereal was released in 1984 to coincide with the films release. Thousands of young American children wolfed down bowl after bowl before going to school, and if they were lucky, another helping of ghostly goodness when they got home.
What they didn't know was that a secret ingredient was added; the dried and grounded semen of Ivan Reitman. Reitman was overheard by one journalist years later talking to childhood friend Sir Bob Geldof.
"I even gave a box to my grandmother. I laughed and laughed and laughed".

3. Slimer was a popular character from the Ghostbusters franchise. Recently published medical records show that the action figure of the little green ghost accounted for one third of all eye puncturing in children under 12 between 1984 and 1995, when Steven Seagal's breasts took the lead.

4. It's a movie tie-in. Come on

5. Bill Murray.

So when your standing outside your local Game/Tesco/Wal Mart/whatever, think carefully. Do you really want to contribute to a franchise that allows actors to get rogered by rodents, and children to be violated and blinded? With Bill Murray? Have you seen the Garfield movies? Don't

You can't deny the fact that this was the greatest toy playset ever created, though:

lol I had all that shit as well. I went through the website where you found those pics, and I had like half of the toys and stuff on there. God, being a kid was so awesome.

Now I sit at a desk for 9 hours a day. At least there's Destructoid to keep me company at work.

I just went though that site too. I never knew that I owned every Ghostbusters toy ever made. The Ghostpopper and Ghostzapper were my favorites.

Oh man, the Ghostpopper ruled. Loved that thing. How about the Boo Zooka? It was this tube-shaped monster that you squeezed, and air would force out these little bullet-shaped plastic guys. The thing kinda looks like the Fleshlight, though, which is disturbing in retrospect:



@BBrigg1
Yeah, I was also more of a Turtles and GI Joe guy. My Dad's friend even gave me the 7 1/2-foot-long GI Joe Aircraft Carrier:



It's alright to be a little jealous.

My big GI Joe vehicle was this:



Interesting side note: The missle launcher could not only be used to fight the evil forces of Cobra but also to make your little brother cry.
