one of the better ads this tournament, the nomadic lifestyle of this 'gypsy band' is illustrated very effectively by their alliance logo shamelessly hopping from one familiar eve region another.

all of this is done to a fairly neutral piece of music (that goes well with the region-hopping theme), the choice of which is by far superior to alliances that have chosen to put screaming or outright noise into their adverts.

nfi what this correctness talk is about in this thread though, seriously is this what the world has come to

i just locked an open door.. strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Gypsies are not a "race", therefore it is impossible for advert to be "racist". HTFU/STFU/HAND.

If anyone's interested, the jolly gypsy is a character from the movie Black Cat, White Cat. You should definitely see it, it's hilarious.

Great mascot for an awesome alliance. Keep up being awesome.

Very good add. I love the smile on the guy's face. In fact this guy could teach CCP Soundwave how to smile.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Props for Gipsy Band and their Intro, excellent.

For haters blahblahing about racism stuff, gtfo !! -this is probably the best humour eye blink they could have and probably would be laughing/loving it.

Skin color doesn't make someone a different race. Humans are a single race. Nevertheless people keep calling color discrimination racism...

Its a picture of a black dude at the end with missing teeth and a caption saying how they're professionally homeless.

Its def racist.

I don't get the hate though. I'm starting to think that forum posters don't read what they're replying to/thier reply.

There's a good dozen people cutting at me because I don't like the ad. When I clearly stated that it was full of win.

Herp da fuckin derp.
