the (in)famous poster
the l-gun controversy: scandal in scandinavia

The image above is an English version of an authentic Swedish propaganda poster (circa 1990) that, in true IKEA-like fashion, denounces Tetris for allegedly espousing war. An embargo on Tetris imports was proposed, and at one point the streets of Stockholm were filled with burnt Gameboy effigies. The L was hastily replaced by a second square tetrad, whereupon protests began championing for the L to be reinstated.
