You people are such downers just laugh at the joke and move on. You could simply lean a tiny bit closer to your monitor.
But yes it was a bad choice of colours and font I made it quickly.

This community is like a bunch of sheep. One person rates dumb and so does everybody else on every post you make.
Slap this shit on movies too then, k?
[QUOTE=Netsc;35231412]that's nothing. Look at the UK ones. [img]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7FGL4UwsEB0/TOPIOxBYNoI/AAAAAAAAAHA/x3i7ZvrFm0U/s1600/cigarette+warning+labels-UK.jpg[/img][/QUOTE]
I always find these boxes hilarious because the top half is all "we're svelete, smooth and classy" and the bottom half is "OMFG DONT SMOKE OR YOULL FUCKING DIE OF ALL THIS SHIT"
[QUOTE=alexojm;35233230]This is the only kind of warning people will look at.

This community requires some lurking and some smarts to know when to stop.
When you touch the stove, youre just gonna get burnt. The more you do, the worser it gets.
Same thing you are doing here, besides, the more you complain when you don't have a point, the more people shower you in boxes.
Stupid
[QUOTE] almost every video game box to bear a warning label reading, "WARNING: Exposure to violent video games has been linked to aggressive behavior."[/QUOTE]
Shouldn't we be more concerned about other things at the moment?
[QUOTE] Should the the Violence in Video Games Labeling Act, H. R. 4204, somehow pass [/QUOTE]
Alright now your just trying to piss people off.
[QUOTE] [B][U]It makes no distinction for a game's actual content[/U][/B], so the warning would be slapped on Mortal Kombat and Imagine: Party Babyz alike.[/QUOTE]
Last time I checked there has been zero link to violent games and aggressive behavior that violent movies or books didn't also cause, why don't THEY have warnings.
The difference between the warnings on cigarettes and the ones they want to put on videogames is that the warnings on cigarettes aren't such big bullshit.

It is just a joke seriously the problem with you people is the fact you cannot look at a simple joke and laught. You have to nit pick and screw at every detail like it is important. Yes the writing is hard to read but it's a joke you don't have to say anything.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;35244079]no its because you don't know how to competently lay text on to an image, i mean fuck, you should have learned this in any class wherein you presented a powerpoint[/QUOTE]
For your infomation the picture was really big and clearly readable when being made. I did not think how it would look scaled down.
I was mildly disgruntled at first, but then I realized that I haven't had my games in a box for years.
Steam seems to graciously dance around this legislation like a biannually discounting ballerina.
The last game I got in a box was Skyrim. And that was only because it came with an oldy feel map inside.
why dont they fix the country instead of worrying about whats on video game labels?

I am not american but still most likely just to look like they are doing something important.

Last one I got was either Street Fighter 2010 or Halo CE: Anniversary edition.

Warning: You will be so undetectable
Alright, but only if you put the same labels on Doritos bags warning about the dangers of addiction and obesity.
