In order to promote its upcoming shooter Homefront, THQ enlisted a group of struggling actors totally real soldiers. The group marched throughout the streets of Figueroa near the Staples Center before stopping into the ESPN Zone bar to watch North Korea take on Brazil in the first-round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

That picture is so wrong in so many different ways.
What next, men wearing Nazi SS uniforms to promote BMWs or Nazi-theme bars in Korea Town? I really think consumerism in America today reduces people to a level that is more like paramecium than animal.

So much marketing for one of the dumbest storylines I've ever heard of.

I'll admit it's farfetched, but John Milius, who wrote the storyline, also did Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn.
R. Elgin-how can you compare the Norks to the Nazis other than both start with the letter "N?"
