Title: How do you feel about Nintendo joining the #WarOnChristmas
Post by: pokepal148 on December 25, 2016, 02:41:13 PM
First all of they stop supporting gifting of eshop purchases on Nintendo.com and now all of these NES Classic shortages. Where does it stop? :(

You didn't even try to photoshop Reggie, Miyamoto, and Bill into the picture.

Honestly, I expected better.

But if Nintendo is warring on Christmas, why would the be working to plant a Christmas tree on the battlefield? That picture is a riff on the planting of the US flag on Iwo Jima after that gruelling battle. Or do you see it as the soldiers taking down the Christmas tree instead of raising it up?

Silly Pokepal! Everyone knows The Great Christmas Tree evolved from an oak! Only religious nuts think that Christmas Trees are planted!

Maybe if you take things literally. To me, those men are shamelessly tossing a Christmas Tree onto a pile of war-torn scraps- a fitting metaphor for the state of the world of retail.

Again, I'm surprised and disappointed by the rather limited perspective of this forum. Then again, when you make it your own self-moderated hugbox, it's hard to expand your horizons beyond Box Boy puns and historical depictions of hope.

Hooray! Hugs for all! (But especially me!)

Part of the new feature I'm asking to be included in Square Lad 3: The Cubening.

Maybe, my heart grew three times as much today.

Don't forget the 3DS shortages.
