Bungie....you better issue an apology/Statement!

Hey guys. Just to let you know that due to some small message in (or thought to be in) your new trailer that apparantly reads "Wheres Maddie?" small but growing numbers of halo fanboys are posting stuff on websites related to the disapperance of a kid in the UK named Madaline McCann. Now i dont know how well you know the UK press....but they can be, say...reactionary at best. Especially about Maddie. All it would take is a few more posts and you can be sure you'll end up in a few of the red tops....and i assure you it wont be favourable to the Bungie cause. They love a good anti-gaming story. You may want to issue a statement to people telling them to calm down before the press get hold of it. About 24 hours i reckon. Just thought i'd warn you :) P.s Ask Frankie if you want to know more about the British press...i'm sure he's got some horror stories..

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DominateChu This is probably the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. The fact that people are actually making a connection between this game and the sad disappearance of a girl that coincidentally happens to have the same name is incredible. For once, just once, use a little bit of logic. Sure, for those of you who live in the UK the fact that the names are the same might have gotten your attention, but use your head to realize that there is nothing in common between Bungie and the disappearance. The fact that people get offended so easily these days just amazes me. Suddenly, the use of a common name is off limits in a video game? Come on. I can understand your concern if Bungie had put "Maddie McCann, where are you?" That would be weird and inappropriate. But they didn't. So get over it.[/quote]Are you an idiot? Or just not from the UK? Its not the fact that the name "Maddie" was used it the context of it. "Maddie, where are you?" I could bet alot of money that nearly every British person who read that in the trailer immeidatly had the Maddie case spring to mind. Me being one of them. Yes it is very bad luck and the two things connect in no way but do you think the the British tabloids care? Do you know how much money they made over the past year from the "Maddie" case? It was on the front page nearly everyday and one hell of alot of people bought and read it. People were interested and the tabloids could take this bit of information from thr trailer and twist it around to how they please and make millions off it. And then people say "kids get kidnapped everyday blah blah" yes they do but i garantee not one kidnapping was taking this seriously and made this huge for years. Millions were spent on the Maddie case and a years worth of time and effort. Some people will take this sort of thing to serious offence but thats just how life it and theres nothing we can do about it. [Edited on 09.25.2008 12:33 PM PDT]
