Xbox 360 Joystick Swastika?

Originally taken from VE3D news, but their archives are not working now, so I linked it on my own site. Do you think that it’s just a mistake or the Microsoft marketing ppl mean joystick swastika? If they do - it’s big mistake and very bad joke.

That's in a middle of an iPod ad-ish animation that was spinning and twirling in both directions. So if anything, Apple was nazi first. :lol

There are ALWAYS rednecks everywhere. I'm talking about rednecks per capita, which is pretty damn low in PNW compared to other places I've lived at. :lol

MS is an IT company, IT consists mostly of foreigners...IT companies are the least likely to be racist, IMO. joking aside.
 
I Knew It! When I saw that Major Nelsons favorite movie was American History X but he reviewed it as "Unrealised Potential" I should of known something was up. :lol

(Disclaimer: It's the truth.)








(Disclaimer2: No it's not.)

Time to go play some racistBL I mean XBL.

Just another term that was used by Microsoft, although this is a little more public then that was. Unreleted events in history, but i'm going for a theme at microsoft.

Microsoft trying to kill gay rights bill in WA

First off, MS is one of the most gay-friendly companies on the planet (up there with Disney). Second, they weren't trying to kill anything, they just decided (at the time) to go hands off rather than pick a side.

Third, the idea that MS higher-ups are racist is beyond boggling, considering how much support for minority benefits the Gates Foundation alone provides.
 
Isn't the Director of the DirectX API Black? I remember seeing a picture of him in a Next Gen magazine and he was in charge of making sure all of us could enjoy 10's of thousands of games on Windows without a hassle which is a pretty big role in the company if you ask me. Having said that it's not fair to pick on MS for a standard that 99% of major corporations fell to match themselves. Having said THAT I think a lot of racist do buy the Xbox as their console of choice because it is "American" but is of no control of MS.

well, it hasnt always been bad, until the Nazis used this symbol, the swastika was used by many cultures throughout the past 3,000 years to represent life, sun, power, strength, and good luck.

:p

It's just that the morons are louder than the decent XBL players. Plus, I'm sure 99.9% of the people that freely use racial slurs are THE biggest fucking pussies on the face of the earth. They act like that cause for once in their pathetic little lives they can act like a 'big man' without physical punishment.

today i was playing a rumble pit match in halo 2, very low level game since i haven't ranked up yet... a bunch of idiots in the room, i swear to God.

Once a chick revealed herself as a chick, she was being absolutely harassed by nearly everyone in the room. It was fucking disgusting.

However she kicked all their asses, so it was a fun postgame lobby of DEAD SILENCE

The Swastika is a reversed Manji which is a religious symbol used by Budhists
