Atari Charles Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Hi Everyone, I took this picture of my friends son acting like a zombie. Kind of a crazy picture, but sometimes that's what Jone's Cola is looking for. I was hoping that some of you could take a few seconds and vote positivily for this pic. http://www.jonessoda.com/gallery/view.php?...zombie&offset=3 Also, some of you should take some Atari related digital pictures and submit them to Jones Cola. Your pic may make a label. Imagine an Atari 2600 on a pop Bottle label. Thanks, Atari Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 No offense, but I wouldnt drink anything with that picture on the label. That being said, I voted for it! You're welcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Yeah, this kinda goes into the Off-Topic forum... I could post my submissions as well... but I'd have to look for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 A young boy who appears to be naked and beaten/drugged? That will sell at Neverland Ranch, but the rest of the country would be horrified. Why would we or anyone else want to see an Atari on the label? Are we that desperate for attention? And why wouldn't Jones just sell the label as ad space for an Xbox if they wanna go that route? Let's also remember that 99.999999% of the world doesn't give a shit about classic video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian M Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 And why wouldn't Jones just sell the label as ad space for an Xbox if they wanna go that route? Hm, that's actually a pretty good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HermChase Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Maybe if you just hid the VCS in the background... By the way, I boosted your vote to my lucky number. 714. Well, divided by 100. ------ Chase Hermsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinball22 Posted August 6, 2004 Share Posted August 6, 2004 Your lucky number is 7.14? And Jones wants pretty much anything unusual on the labels, so I would think an Atari might be a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't they need to pay to have an Atari on the label? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Charles Posted August 7, 2004 Author Share Posted August 7, 2004 I just want to thank everyone who voted. Yes, it a wierd picture. He looks beaten and or drugged as he in impersonating a zombie. There is another one of him pretending he is Smeagol. Vote for it if you wish. Higher votes are really appreciated, my precious! http://www.jonessoda.com/gallery/view.php?...gollum&offset=1 Thanks again everyone!!

Whisper Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Wouldn't they need to pay to have an Atari on the label? They had Moby's album Play on the label when it was just released. If they can do that, then why not an Atari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIPITBULL Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 I like Jones Soda, but about the only place I see it for sale around me is at a Mr Pita sandwich shop on Southfield Road. I Voted for your sons picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 No offense but I still don't think kid wearing only in boxer underwear is going to sell well. It's pushing too close to child porn law. I remember a flap involved Calvin Klien and ad photo that looked like the boy was under legal age. Nice picture though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Charles Posted August 8, 2004 Author Share Posted August 8, 2004 Thanks for the votes. I look at these pictures as Michael simply pretending to be different characters from movies. People don't look at Gollum from LOTR as pornographic just because he is in a loin cloth, nor do they look at Zombies (shirt on or off) as the next male sex symbol. These are just silly pictures and that's all. I understand how the zombie image would be popular at the neverland ranch, but then that's MJ's problem for looking at kids in a sick way. Kid's playing in a swimming pool would be popular at the neverland ranch as well. I do appreciate the comments and if I was to do the pics again, I'd probably use make-up to make Micheals face look like it is decaying. And in the Gollum pic, I'd try and make him look even moe like Gollum re:the blotchy skin and thinning hair. But then the pictures wouldn't be spontanous and would look like we are trying to hard to be on the next pop bottle cover. As for Atari, I think there are more Classic Video Game afficiantos than we think. Lots of us grew up during the Atari Age (after the Ice-Age and before the X-Box Age"shutter shutter") and have fond memories playing Atari with siblings, parents, etc. I do think people care about Atari, Commodore, Intellivision, etc. and yes a pic of someone playing Atari or an Atari placed artistically somewhere would get atatnetion and votes from retro gamers and non-retrogamers alike. I like Atari for sentitmental and technological reasons. I would like Atari if I was the only person on the planet who did. It is great that we all have a cool meeting place to hang out, talk shop, etc. I suspect that if many of us lived in the same city, I'm sure we'd more than likely hang out. So snap a few digital pics of your Atari's with or without people and send them in to Jones Cola. It is very easy to upload images. And yes, people do care and have an interest in this genre(subgenre) of classic video games. Atari Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Yeah, you can send in anything you want. Its actually quite fun, even if you dont get your photos on a label. Its a plus if you do, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogueleader Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 So am I like the only one who has never even heard of Jone's Cola? I can see they have very strange labels but does it actually taste good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Its actually some of the best stuff man has ever created. The Blueberry Bubblegum is to die for. They have a few other goodies, like Berry Lemonade, and FuFu berry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
