Coop624 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Personally I think it has nothing to do with FM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwityke Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 As long as the game is good I couldn't care less. Also usually with things like this any media attention is good media attention, thats why marketing types do these contravercial adverts all the time.

Nomis07 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Why is there no "I couldn't give a rats backside it's an advert for goodness sake" option? Advertising is the name of the game and if it drums up a bit of attention then they've got the job done, I didn't vote because I don't care what's in the advert, as long as it's not me naked.

Cometdude Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If the reason to use Che Guevara was to emphasise that the next FM was going to be revolutionary then its a very clever peice of advertising by using the most recognisable revolutionary of them all.

Gauvner Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Many people argue that Che Guevara is a Terrorist, I say nay! A very clever and impressive revolutionary who helped the Cubans so very much aswell as other. I voted No only because Che Guevara has nothing to do with FM. Still i liked the announcement announcing the announcement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

glamdring Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 If the reason to use Che Guevara was to emphasise that the next FM was going to be revolutionary then its a very clever peice of advertising by using the most recognisable revolutionary of them all. Well, I have to say there are things in life that I do have knowledge of and a vast swathe of knowledge that has completely passed me by. Che Guevara definitely falls into the latter category for me so I don't really have an opinion other than that as a piece of advertising it kinda failed on me since I wouldn't recognise Che Guevara from a random person in the street!

VonBlade Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Those who don't care either don't know and consider him nothing but revolutionary, or subscribe to the, false, romanticised view that all revolutions are good. I know enough people in areas of the world that have undergone change, or are in the middle of it, to know better. One mans terrorist may be anothers freedom fighter, but still half the people will think of them as a terrorist. VB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulpaps Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Che Guevara's image is one of the most overused in the world, so I fail to see anything about this being "offensive" or a stroke of marketing genius. And to anyone who says Che was a terrorist or a bad man etc., then LEARN YOUR HISTORY!!!!!!!!! Like Castro, Mandela and Haile Sellassie, Ernesto was a man of the people. The greatest ruler of all time was a dictator in Caesar. My opinion mind... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
