New raven add

[frenchtoastdude]

I was looking t a raven add for part of a class project that someone had brought in. It said die all over it and it said kill and near the bottm it said KILL IN COLD BLOOD! What the F**K is up with this. It gives paintball a bad name and when everyone in my class saw it they were in shock. Do you think that makes more people want to play....... of course not. What if one of your parents saw KILL IN COLD BLOOD...... what would they think? What do you think about this?

[SEPHIROTH_086]

OMG thats gonna make ppl think of our sport as VERY bad...again, dang why did they have to do that!!! What mag and issue?

[frenchtoastdude]

It's the 2page add, I saw it in 2 of my mags but it might be in more.... Sept. and oct. 2001.....It's says till a bunch untill it fades down on the left side to finally it says kill. Then it says in cold blood spread apart.

See, back a few months ago when i said

"Raven and Kingman spend all their time raping goats and making homosexual porno films and havent played paintball ever" nobody frickin listened to me. Now that they put that add out, my suspicions have been confirmed.




I told you so

[frenchtoastdude]

lol I wasnt here a few months ago. You were right.

[MuckRaker]

Is that he add where the prominent image is a guy wearing a Nuvis Mask, but the color looks like it's been reversed?

I noticed their new add in the November PB2X is just a bunch of goofy looking people wearing Raven logo clothes. Couldn't find any hidden Satanic messages in that add. But, if Twitcho is right, the people in the add probably just got finished making a Homo Goat Killer Porn Movie.

it's September and october 2001 of apg.. It's the one of him pointing with th raven gloves.

[AngrySloth]

I see it. It's in faded red text... It's an add for Kingman Java stuff with a guy wearing a raven jersey. Twitch was right about Raven and Kingman!

[MTU_Paintballer]

wow i see what you are talking about in that add. I still can't figure how you spotted that, its like faded and spread out across the page.

[frenchtoastdude]

lol I know.

[MarkM]

Well, if that is the case. Raven will never be a consideration for a purchase. It is sick that some advertising/marketing pencil necked GEEK came up with this saying just to attempt to make a few bucks. An image like will add even more doubt to parents about their child's PB activity. It won't help any newbies feeling comfortable receiving an image like that for paint ball. :pissed:

[AngrySloth]

The add was actally more for Kingman than for Raven.
I feel so ashamed 'cause I have Spyder. :( :( :(

[Shifty Capone]

who cares there aint nouffun we can do bout it

[MuckRaker]

And only a Gen-X'er coulda solved it.

first hint: top of the add, in small white boxes on the left and right of the page, "Bad" "Company"

Second hint: if you read the faded text at the top of the add carefully you come up with this:
"That's why they call me Bad Company, and I can't deny"
"Bad, Bad Company, till the day I die."

Solution: they've printed the lyrics to the song "Bad Company" by the 70's rock band,
Bad Company in the ad, be it, they did a bad job of printing the lyrics.

the line, Kill in Cold Blood, while somewhat tasteless in the add, is also from the song.

I agree though, that a well known and respected paintball company like Kingman should know better
than to put that one line in the add, especially since it's the one line that is not spread out across
the whole page, and it is the one line that is easiest to read.

Just for those who don't have the APG issues, the add is also in the Aug.-Oct. issues of Paintball SPorts International,
and Paintball2Xtremes.

[frenchtoastdude]

Cool, I've never even heard of that song lol.

[Leper]

I noticed the text at the top of the page and how it seemed to have a pattern, but I've never heard of the song before.

[Ebonclaw]

Dude, I used to hear that song on the radio all the time......my dad and his oldies station.....well, sounds like Kingman could have used slightly better discretion. Maybe it's a subliminal add though, imposing our minds to turn to terrorism and join Bin Laden.....nah....Kingman wouldn't do that. The guy who owns Kingman is Chinese, and we all know how much they love us.....wait....bad example....

[frenchtoastdude]

I think he japanese.... It says all you deserters grab a gun bla bla bla

[MuckRaker]

I'm not sure, but I think the guy in the ad is on Team Bad Company. They're either Am A or Pro, and they use regular Spyder markers with electro frames.

Could be wrong about the guy, he may just be a *** Porn Goat F'er for all I know ... or someone who works in the warehouse ... wait, that'd be the same thing, wouldn't it?:confused:

[frenchtoastdude]

Still thay have bad taste.
