Giving guns stupid fake names is annoying. For the longest time I thought the FAMAS was a "Clarion" and a Galil, an "IDF Defender". It just spreads misinformation and confusion in a time when remaining ignorant of our world's weapons is becoming less and less acceptable.
It'll be the long-awaited Gerstmann Hall of Fame Bombastic Jar Time in Japan
I want a Japan Bombcastica. Just Jeff, chilling in a hotel room with a bathrobe, a phat jar of clear liquid, and a copy of Battletech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge.

Indeed. I had no clue that this thing was coming out before this whole rigamarole. I'm willing to bet that the marketers took a long look at the public's interest in the game and cooked up another hook to get the word out, because they knew a super sad trailer wasn't going to fool anybody this time. Something shocking for people read about on blogs and shake their heads at. I bet the fact that it got interpreted as some kind of sexist hate crime, was a happy accident for them.
