Way to show a lack of compassion for those of us who have lost loved ones. But hey, family fun acting like terrified victims or killers. Lets just hope none of the people who would actually do this will ever have to feel the pain of attending a real funeral for their dead child or friend. But I guess while some exploit this, the idea that shooting people is fun will be burned into kids heads. Good, clean family fun. The least a paintball activity company could do is leave Columbine, and other very real tragedies out of their advertising. But you people probably don’t care nor understand.

We lost loved ones also. Paintball is not always fun and games. But they always come back in the next game.
How can we NOT use Columbine in our advertising, given it’s great marketing power?
