Silent Hill based on Kindergarten Cop, CONFIRMED! photo

My God! Why didn't we catch this sooner? It's so obvious! The clues were right there the whole time!

Konami was trying to keep the dirty truth a secret, but it didn't do a good enough job. Through the power of JOURNALISM, user Giromancy from the Silent Hill Heaven forums has acquired photographic evidence proving beyond any shadow of a doubt that the original Silent Hill is a remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Kindergarten Cop.

It makes sense that an undercurrent of sexuality runs throughout the Silent Hill series. Kinergarten Cop was the movie that taught the world that "boys have a penis, girls have a vagina" and questioned who is your "daddy" and what does he "do." Those themes clearly carried over into the game.

Only difference between the two is that in Silent Hill it was a tumor.

Now I understand how a kid who genuinely believes in Santa feels when he discovers it's ALL A LIE.

Someone on another thread commented that Konami must have used the movie as a frame of reference for American schools. It makes perfect sense to me. On another note I just downloaded Silent Hill earlier during a frenzied psn buying spree in preparation for the Vita. I hope this game holds up.

I clicked this article thinking "oh he's making some kind of satirical jab at a dumb user who thought there could be similarities between these two..."

Good god.

It was so obvious all along.

While the school bus one is kind of a cheat, it is quite the eerie coincidence to see so many similar things between them. But whose mom in Silent Hill says that their dad is a real sex machine?

I thought the same about the bus but then noticed they both wore the mark of number 7.

I'm too lazy to research (and usually so are the writers) so is this confirmed and not just a photoshop job? I'm skeptical, but if not that is some funny sh**
