NES Zapper Gets College Poster Banned In Canada
There’s been some more gun controversy over in North America recently and it’s not what you might think…
To promote a “games themed social night” at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia a bunch of fun-loving students made some posters to put up around campus. However the Student Union of the university banned them from doing so as it features a gun, a red plastic toy gun. Yes, that’s right the NES Zapper…
Notice how the beer is totally fine, but the toy gun? Not so fine. Apparently the students removed the offending item and replaced it with a Power Glove which, if I’m honest, I find more offensive…
Very bizarre.
