[quote]The focus of the Zombie Bait Edition is a hand-painted 31cm X 18.5cm resin statue of a decapitated bikini-clad female torso. According to Deep Silver, the statue is a "grotesque take on an iconic Roman marble torso sculpture."
"We wanted to provide a unique collector’s edition that was utterly ‘Dead Island’ and would make a striking conversation piece on any discerning zombie gamer’s mantel,” said Deep Silver sales and marketing director Paul Nicholls in a statement. [/quote]

So...what are your thoughts on..this. I think this is where we draw the line for games, as anyone who would want this in their home must be mentally deficient. This of course will not at all help the new video game debates. What are your thoughts on the gruesome statue? Really it just seems there is no need at all for this.
You can also see lot's of outrage [url=https://twitter.com/weefz/status/291228191950008320]here[/url], [url=http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/15/3878810/dead-island-riptides-bloody-torso-statue-sparks-anger-shock]here[/url], and [url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/01/15/deep-silver-promote-dead-island-with-appalling-statue/]here[/url]

Edited by Sh1n1ng Wolf: 1/16/2013 2:53:42 AMNow, and I'm completely serious when I say this, what if there was a couple chunks of flesh taken out of the breast to reveal the tits were so big because of implants? Have flesh taken out of one breast to reveal an intact silicon baloon, and have a chunk out of the other with some of the silicon oozing out of the fake tit. THAT would be disgusting, and would turn the overly sexualized bust concept on its head. Reveal the ridiculous tits for what they are and make them uglier as a result. If Dead Island wanted to be meaningful, as implied in its trailers, that could be a way of going about it.
