Blue shirts are just the employees they buy at walmart to fill their stores. Much much cheaper

On another note, GW blue shirts must be much cheaper than black or red shirts. There are tons of them. That is certainly what every GW store needs.
I know I felt bad for the guy so took it down, but it was very obvious.

Thus, After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd

LOL, walmart is the cheapest option for plain shirts in China? Even knockoff stores that import direct from China beat their prices here in the US. I'm guessing that red shirts of any style are more in demand (and therefore in price despite the nominally Communist government) since the Cultural Revolution.

Eh, I don't know why you guys are bashing GW that there are women/girls in the photo.
The GW I go to regularly has many *many* women that come in and mostly paint (I have yet to see one actually game.) I would say a good 50% of the customers at my local store are of the female persuasion.
Then again, maybe its just the culture. I rarely if ever see any of "that guy" type behavior here (Maybe I am that guy), and have never seen the typical big fat smelly "neckbeard" types that people like to complain about. Not to mention women are just as likely to play video games out in public as males.

There is only one group in china allowed to be called "Redshirts", and they certainly won't let Gee Dubs take the title.

They'd bash GW if there weren't any girls in the photo. If there was a cat in the photo. etc.
It's how they roll.

A gamesday photo from 2010, if I can find it ill post it, is a good example. Theres two extra squads of orks...that are the same....
The Tyranid-Ultramarine 'battle' is a great example.

I actually find this quite reassuring. The original pic tells me that whatever else the guys at GW are doing, when they're taking pictures of me they're not checking out my ass.

See that arm there, on the far right? Imagine he's a guy who's mining for Wedginium in the valleys of Asscrackia.

It's why I really have problems with some of the gaming community. You don't like GW, we get it. Enjoy the games instead.

Wait, why did the OP take the pic down? Is a shot of the back of a guy scratching his ass really _that_ dreadful?

I really don't even consider them part of the gaming community. We have a guy locally that comes into the store once a week, complains about prices, cries about the metagame when he hasn't played a game in months, complains about the new codex, complains about fantasy, buys 3 boxes of space marines and leaves until next week.
