Oh great. Ash has done it again. By plucking something from the tips jar (in his ineffable laziness) that no one else thought was even interesting enough to post, he's caused an avalanche of similar crap to come rumbling down on the site, to bury you all.
First, it was those stupid gamer license plates. Now? It's Space Invaders. Seeing Ash's earlier terrible, completely lazy post on the subject, Kotakuite Stefan writes:
just wanted to show you this poster i found at the praterstern trainstation in vienna...maybe it's interesting to know to that there're elections coming an i found this one on a big VP (austrian people's party)advertisement.
Just so. Of course, if you think about it, Space Invaders is pretty racist... human racist. An armada of squid-like aliens destroying earth in utter extraterrestrial conviction of their own genetic superiority? They'd come right after Hitler in my deliberations for anti-racist spokesmen.
But I suppose the Austrians would know better than me, having had to deal with Hitler — and maybe Space Invaders for all I know about the Second World War — firsthand.
