| Anyone else see a problem here? This from a series of "humorous" ad campaigns aimed at youth from our provincial workplace safety commission.  Sure, I realize it's exaggerated and done in CGI, but come on...don't we get enough bad publicity from renegade fields and walmart warriors without having the government step in? From an organization that's supposed to promote safety and responsibility, they sure dropped the ball. I'm tempted to petition to have them remove the pic from their campaign and give THEM a bunch of bad press. /discuss.

| I've seen this exact poster on a bus before. I was sitting on one of the chairs and my girlfriend caught me with a frustrated look on my face, looked up at the poster and without having ever played paintball, looked at me and said "it's the lack of mask isn't it?". Does this make me addicted to paintball? Regardless, not a very well thoughtout advertisement.

| This reminds me of a movie I saw a couple years ago. A popular comedian ran for president, and once in office he and some buddies went pbing with his secret service guys. Anyway, lots of them were running around without hoppers and were shooting people out.  I guess they were on a budget. There was also a NYCSI that had pballers that had lasers on their autocockers...EDIT: The hits on the chef girl look like powder, not paint.

| Yeah I remember seeing that ad on the subway. I thought it was kind of funny, ironic, in a not so good of a way. "Wear proper safety equipment."
