Just an amusing one i spotted, surely Remingtons PR people are living in a bunker or something.
They have allowed a developer to release a game associated with their company, in which you gun down ever endangered species in Africa larger than a bush rat ...... ROFLMFAO .... WTF?!?!?!
The only way they could have generated worst PR for their company would been to force the developers to add a few Bantu tribesmen to gun down too.
I know their business is allowing people to gun down wild animals and other human beings either unarmed or using inferior weapons but WTF ?!?!?!
Even they must desire some kind of positive PR ...... can only assume this is similar fubar to the one the US Navy almost made in 1979. When i high ranking admiral was fully committed to using the Village peoples 'in the navy' as ( i fuckin' jest you not ) the new Navy recruiting theme song ... apparently the project was well developed when a junior staff liaison officer pointed out that the song had various potentially undesirable connotations for the Nations aquatic fighting force, and the band presented a questionable lifestyle for the navy to become associated with.

lol ..... did you read what i wrote ..... am not critical of the idea ...... i don't actually give a fuck.
Just seems a dubious decision from a PR stand point.
As in this game you hunt ENDANGERED species, the hunting of which is outlawed via international treaty.

Thats the whole point. Why complain about hunting endangered animals when there is a plethora of games where you shoot and kill humans seemingly just for fun, such as GTA. Or movies for that matter.
Its just a form of entertainment, its not real.

At no time did i say i have any problem with it. I just think its crazy from a PR perspective.
The point is that Lexus do no sponsor you to drive around GTA wiping out bystanders ... because its bad PR.
