I Salute You, Ms. Pac-Man February 25, 2008 Jill Amanda’s right: I think we can all agree on this feminist icon. And I hope that someday, someone describes me as “A strong female protagonist unafraid to eat constantly, kick ass and look good.”
Also, why is Ann Coulter (I hate that that is her last name) in front of a sign that says “white power” and has a swastika?
“She keeps her own name mutherf**kers!” “And we hope you kick the holy shit out of breast cancer. Because breast-cancer sucks.” AHAHAHA! Now this is how we can get young girls into feminism. Ms. Pac-Man, mutherfuckers! It’ll definitely attract young female gamers. Oh, give that fella a medal or gift-card, or somethin’. Brilliant!
I have seen this linked in a million different places and haven’t clicked on it because it had a picture of Ann Coulter in front of a swastika. Now that I know what it was all about..
and she also was much better than Pacman. While I’m thinking about it, notice how she has to be Ms. Pacman, while he’s not Mr. Pacman?
While I’m thinking about it, notice how she has to be Ms. Pacman, while he’s not Mr. Pacman? True. I take some pleasure in the fact that she’s not “Mrs. Pacman”, though.
Not to be a major buzzkill, but as the world’s biggest ’80s music dork, I have to point out that while Ms. Pac-Man was released in 1981, the single “Take On Me” was not released until 1985. Perhaps a more appropriate choice for the soundtrack would’ve been The Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” or “Rapture” by all-world ass-kicker Blondie.
While I’m thinking about it, notice how she has to be Ms. Pacman, while he’s not Mr. Pacman? I imagine this has more to do with the fact that Ms. Pacman was a sequel to Pacman than anything else. In any event, it could have been worse. Per wikipedia, the original name for Ms. Pacman was Crazy Otto
