Doom makes everything better, even billboards photo

Usually when I see stuff like this roll into our happenin' tips line, I think to myself "nah, this is exactly what they'd expect us to talk about. Forget it." However, I'm willing to make a few exceptions.

Gaming cakes? Barf! No way. But creepy ornaments of the realistic Mario variety? Believe it. Or German ads getting defaced by Doom artwork? Heck yes, I'll allow it.

It's way past everyone's bedtime right now, but screw it; the world must know of this rad and completely geeky underground movement! Especially you, guy who needs to get some serious sleep.

The "666% hate" really was a nice touch, by the way.

The funniest thing is that this is a German poster - where Doom is, in fact, banned.

*cough*USA-centric*cough* You posted this at 21:03 Australian Eastern Standard Time. Way to offend my entire time-zone.

I am still trying to understand the deal of this. Is it a protest, vandalism, what?

Speaking of racist, it is kind of racist that Santa Claus is always white. They should use black Santas in commercials - a black man coming down your chimney with a sack doesn't have to be a robber.

I love it. Here's hoping this is some kind of guerrilla protest and becomes widespread getting the germany vs gaming issue the coverage it deserves.

What is this bed time you speak of? It's the week before finals where I'm at, 10 page papers demand that one not sleep, therefore, I appreciate the update, even though I wasn't right here when it went up (there's a woot off going on)

Also, this is awesome. Isn't Doom banned (or was) in Germany?

@Draxxlith, WhiteZombie:

LOL at people taking finals seriously. I've never studied for a final in my life, and have also never scored below an 80% on any of them. All-nighters for me usually mean I've completely forgotten about a long-term project until the last minute.

I'd like to see this kind of thing to be done with billboards with Fox News or Right-wing faces.

He also has "FTW" in yellow in the "arms" section. There are 2 things that could stand for.

The street is going to kill you, sleeping and remembering the part that you did study > studying it all in a hurry and staying awake.
