3. Or it could be forming a circle out of controllers, signifying 360 degrees

... I guess wheels that have that sort of design are ads for the Nazi Party as well

I can see how people would take it that way if they like to find bunnies in clouds.

59. Wrap the tinfoil hat around a potato, place on XBox360, bake for 90 min.

or until XBox360 craps out, whichever comes first.

finish in microwave oven if necessary, while playing your Playstation.

16. seventhson had a bunch of us arguing with him about something like this.

Edited on Mon Dec-19-05 06:08 PM by LoZoccolo

There was an RFID tag that had some antennae which had a repeating pattern that vaguely looked like a swastika, and he kept arguing stuff like that it is the reemergence of the swastika in the corporate sphere. As I recall I was frustrated at my own waste of time in arguing with him.

seventhson outed himself as a disruptor the night of election day, 2004.

33. Regardless of seventhson's motivations, the RFID tags are for real...

And (coincidence or not, your choice) the company which makes them, Matrics, was recently purchased by The Carlyle Group. Which, as you may know, is the investment branch of the Bush Criminal Empire.

40. You know, it is funny

I tried to create a fun thread about it a few months ago, when the ad first was published (not to mention that few people cared :D). Now, a few months later, people are coming in a)taking it seriously and b) believing that a months-old ad is news.

:hide: indeed.

42. this image clearly debunks the myth created in this thread

I mean the controllers are round and the swaistica has CORNERS.

Wow this is really sad--almost like focusing on a small plane crash on Miami hours after the president admits to breaking the constitution and being proud of it. . .

23. Interesting. The first ad looks so clearly like a swastika

that it would seem hard for ad execs to miss.

Then you have to think about Gates' recent involvement in Africa and providing big $ for massive polio vaccination prgms- Gotta read Dr. Gary Glum's book, FULL DISCLOSURE, re: the intentional CREATION of the AIDS virus- piggybacked to SV-40 in the polio vaccine! The book claims that by using the polio vaccine they were able to deliver the AIDS virus to 'undesirable' populations of color in Brazil and Africa.

I worked for the NIH for years, and I believe that was is written in this book could very easily be true!

41. The swastika itself is menial... But it plugs into IBM and the holocaust..

I think you guys are taking the ad a little too seriously! :)

The bottom of the article talks about real stuff and how a menial xbox ad plugs into bigger issues like http://www.ibmandtheholocaust.com/ and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler http://reformed-theology.org/html/books/wall_street/index.html

51. Actually I find it a little bit convincing.

Although, it would take a lot more research to totally be convinced. Henry Ford is well known for his association with the Nazi Party and was even awarded the Nazi eagle. It really is going out on a limb, however to conclude that because the founder of a particular company had strong ties to the Nazis that everything they do afterwards would be to serve the nazis...

I do find this whole thing quite silly as well, but it's still interesting to learn about the origins of the major coorporations and teh people who founded them.

57. No, it's Indian. A very sacred sign for Hindus.

Which makes the German law on not displaying it a little unduly harsh on some immigrants.

I'm sure it shows up in a lot of cultures as it is a relatively simple symbol.
