Can you stop trolling for once Neos, you see don't problem in that Nintendo has "UR MR GAY" on their box art? |
OMG
My themeforest portfolio:
"cause it's not done on purpose." You think some random art guy just highlighted letters at random and they spelled that out. It was done on purpose and Nintendo choose not to do anything. They knew about this months ago, they could of fixed it and they never did.
I will edit my original post, and leave your thread to avoid further conflict.

yes im fully convinced an art guy just randomly highlighted letters, fully

So UR MR GAY is actually the final box art?
How long before the mainstream media picks up on this? The US is a fairly conservative place when it comes to homosexuality, this could potentially negatively impact sales in certain regions of the country considering it's a family/children's game. It could even become a news story in other English-speaking countries (UK, Australia). Maybe it won't matter at all, but why take the chance?
Since this had already been revealed long ago, why wouldn't Nintendo change it to avoid the controversy? That would have taken about five minutes: just change the flashes on GALAXY from GAY to GLY, the spacing still works and the problem is solved.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

UR MA GAL; see? I found another inproper hidden message :O
My themeforest portfolio:
If it's an accident, wouldn't the proper spacing be SPR MRO GAY?
And it doesn't matter if it's on purpose or not, the people who would not buy a game because of something like this will not care either way.
But, aside from UR MR GAY, there is also:
-All the sparkling glittery star stuff (also bunnies and flower patches)
-The phallic world in the top left
-The black hole or wormhole in the bottom right
-The fact that Mario's hat and mustache combination are considered homosexual attire in the US. If you don't believe me, do a Google image search for "leather gay" or something. A relatively-safe-for-work pic: http://www.chicagopride.com/photos/filebox/149/may1.jpg
Again, it's not *me*, I don't care. But this could easily turn into a controversy, and it could have been easily avoided considering the UR MR GAY thing was discovered two months before SMG's release date:

Look at the letters I highlighted in sinha's post above. Put them together and they reveal an interesting hidden message!
Coincidence? You decide!

Yes, I'm speaking of people who have way too much time on their hands. They spend their free time looking for hidden gay meanings in the clouds and sand in Disney movies. This will be like shooting fish in a barrel for them.

Yours definitely isn't coincidence. You didn't even try to hide it as part of art.
That said, I doubt that the stars on the title are coincidence. More likely someone trying to add their own hidden message and it slipping through the reveiw board.
it took the internet people (people who are bored all day, lets face it) about 2 months to spot the UR MR GAY thing, i highly doubt a random parent will notice..
it is quite clear it wasn't meant to be there and i don't know how bloody thick you have to be to think it was, and no, it will not affect sales at all.. if you think it will you are an absolute idiot..
i really hope the posts saying otherwise were not serious, because they are just beyond stupid
