DriftChamp Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I don't know how many of you guys have heard about this already. In the current issue of GamePro (issue 180 with the Metal Gear Solid cover), there's an article about video game urban legends ("Secret Lies" pages 40-41). One of the urban legends talks about how Atari dumped millions of ET carts into a landfill in NM. The interesting thing about the article is the photo that goes with it. I think the pic is supposed to be a bulldozer with an Atari logo on it scooping up tumbleweed in the desert. The interesting thing about it is that it's obviouly not a desert and its definately NOT tumbleweed (it appears to be a toy bulldozer on top of a woman, and the tumbleweed is her pubic hair! lol) I wonder if GamePro did this intentionally (athough I have no idea why they would) or the editor never caught on.

+Random Terrain Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 That's pretty "nasty" for a game magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Oh my god! LMAO!! I highly doubt the editors would have let that slip through intentionally. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariDude Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Is this for real? Gamepro is asking for a major bigtime lawsuit if this image was really in their magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 i think our imaginations got the best of us here, you COULD also say that the tumble pubes are little bugs that are about to flip over the bulldozer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 I'm pretty sure of what it looks like to me, and it's f'n hilarious. I need to go to Borders and see if they have a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 actually, i went to an arts festival a couple of months ago, and one of the people there had all kinds of photos like that, miniature people doing things on body parts (like a skier going down a pair of buttocks). From the asstastic look of that atari logo on the bulldozer, this may just be a fark from that person, or somebody else similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slapdash Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I posted about this on Digital Press (search for "cheekiness" & "GamePro" since I'm too lazy to :-) It's apparently an image they found off of Google -- do an image search for "bulldozer" and you'll find the image (sans fuji), though no idea if it's the original source. They really bit themselves on the ass with that one... I don't think most kids are going to know what that is, but any straight man (or lesbian woman) oughtta twig to it pretty quick. Yow.
