Since none of the items the kid is looking at in the picture are salable retail items, the photographer is disingenuous by creating a non-existent "shopping zombie" scenario and taking a cheap shot at a kid while doing so. We've all had "that" picture taken (the pre-sneeze, the ill-timed snapshot of turning your head,blinking, etc).

Furthermore, he's likely thinking "Why would anyone want to play these Terminator IP ripoffs that haven't had a new Codex since 3rd Edition?"

Anyone else think it's ironic that this guy wrote an essay on "Shopping Zombies" and used a shot of a kid in one of the few places in retail where there's a chance that what you buy might actually inspire you to play a social game that requires some degree of thought, means you meet people and also needs you to be creative enough to assemble, paint and field an army of models?
