I would say that is unbelievable...  but it's totally believable.  We are a bunch of wimps in this country.  That's why we can't win wars anymore!! 
 
Everyone gets offended so easy...  I can guarantee someone is offended by me saying we are wimps.  Political Correctness run a muck!!!

Hahahaha!  Man what cry babies who ever complained.  It makes me want slap the cry babyness out of them.😒 I bet they took it out cause it had a gun and had " schoo"l with it. And knowing how people now days cry and complain they probably said something political like it reminded them of school shootings. By the way those cartoon characters is EVGA Rob and Jacob right? They look cool. I want to be cartoonized too. 😆

Check out the white guy with the almost swastika on his arm!!!  What's that supposed to mean???  Now I'm offended!!!

A swastika implies Nazi, which means skinhead. Everyone should be offended by someone that proudly and visibly supports an extremist political ideology that resulted in the extermination of millions of Jews. If you're not, it says a lot about your character.

just have to correct this to We have wimps that run this country, and that is why we can't win wars like we used to.

Please, no one take this personal, its not directed at any one. (Sad, I have to put that into words)
 
I can still hear my Dad, Grandpa & Grandmother,
 
"Suck it up Cupcake!"

Found the old banner. Both the new and old banners are below.

Well that also depicts a person doing something incredibly dumb, looking down the barrel of a gun.  Under the right circumstances, it can be done safely, but if I were a parent, I wouldnt want the possible suggestion to be out there.  Kids make dumb mistakes and being that we are talking about a "Back to School" event, I think EVGA made the right call.

So they got rid of the gun and knife??  I wonder if someone actually complained, or if someone at EVGA picked up on it and just had it re-done.
 
Either way...  I'm offended!!! 

I didnt notice that the knife was missing as well.  Good catch. 
 
If there was a complaint or not, I think it is still good practice to be careful what kids see.  You may be a parent that teaches this kind of gun safety and I will as well when I am a parent, but there are a lot of parents out there who don't. 
 
Let me ask you this zildjian75, would you be more offended by EVGA editing the picture OR not being able to buy EVGA products again because someone sued them into oblivion after a kid killed himself by accident and EVGA had to shut down?  I suspect your answer will be that you would be offended by both, but if you had to choose, which would it be?

I really don't care that EVGA edited the picture...  I only care if they edited b/c some moron complained.  That's giving in to political correctness...  So if that's the case, they should get rid of the Nazi as well...  I can go on...  The background clearly says "______Terrorists Rule"...  What's up with that?  That's the most offensive part.


There is no way EVGA could be sued if some moron blew off his own head by peering down the barrel of a gun...  It's a cartoon for god's sake!!!  If that is the case, Yosimite Sam is in some serious hot water...  Think of all the things cartoon's do/imply.  It's make-believe.  When I was younger my favorite cartoon was The RoadRunner, yet I never ran off a cliff...  Look at all the torture Tom & Jerry used to do to each other.  I'm surprised they aren't in jail!!!

Nazi... you're reaching a bit there.  As said earlier by Hazman, they are cartoon characters of EVGA Rob and EVGA Jacob.  If you had ever met Rob, you would know that he is bald.  As for the background, it says Counter Terrorists Rule, its just cut off.  picky picky picky

Have you not noticed that cartoons now a days dont show what they did when we were kids?  It is extreme to us, yes.  Is it extreme to most have to conform to the lowest common denomitor, IMO yes.  Does that mean some lawyer isnt going to going to try to make a fortune finding a way to sue for it, absolutly not.  Its good business practice to not put something out there that could put your company at risk.  I am offended that this is the society we live in today, but I chose to live in it, just like you.  If you dont like it, go buy a private island and live there away from it all.

Yes... I have noticed...  Like South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Archer etc.
 
You are correct about lawyers, and I understand the good business practices...  I get it.


How about they buy a private island where they can invite all the non-freedom loving whimps to live, and us folks that are mature and responsible for our own actions can live with freedom of expression here in America.

I believe it says "counter terrorist's rule" could be wrong, but that rarely happens...lol 
I enjoy all of EVGA promotional cartoons and artwork.
Oh BTW, I'm offended that your offended @ zildjian! LOL not.

I think that is what it says, but I'm a stupid American that doesn't know any better, so it needs to be removed.
