Lmao at this magazine ad.

I found this messed up ad in PC Gamer. It's supposed to be for the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures Game (it's not a computer game), but it's looks like someone made a mistake...

You'll notice that the ESRB symbol in the lower left is not "rating pending" but "roleplaying." It's obviously a spoof.

I found the blurb quite correct to tell the truth, what's the matter?

Psyonisis gets pwned so often reading that hurt him.

I don't get the funniness of the original post. Are companies not allowed to say "Pwned"? Or maybe there's another joke I'm not seeing?

Yeah, I asked myself the same thing. But then I have to remind myself that it's not that I don't get it, it's that I do and it isn't that funny.

I think the humor is that it's very unexpected to see an advertisement use slang typically seen witihn the "internet culture." Even though D&D is perceived as nerdy, it's still surprising to see usage of the term.

Except that it's a modified image... on the Internet, and not the real ad.

What's more depressing is that someone made a typo and it stuck for the next TEN YEARS.

That's why we're giggling at it. If it were real, we'd be crying.

You mean it wasn't real?

I scanned that ad from the May 2006 issue of PC Gamer (as I said in the first message), that's not a joke image I found on the internet.
