When "Fox & Friends" recently unveiled a new logo for its segments on immigration, many gamers in the audience noticed something familiar. They say Fox's "Defending the Homeland" image looks a lot like the logo for the game "BioShock Infinite."

The logo aired during a recent interview on "Fox & Friends" in which Governor Rick Perry invited President Obama to the Texas border to see the "immigration crisis" first hand.

Full story here.

Call me a crazy right-winger if old.

"Looks a lot like"? I'd say it's pretty much the same exact design.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

"Defending the Home Land" what is this some Nazi bullshit

 

[strafer]

It's Fox News.

lol

 

[Brutalitops]

Fox News story condemning Fox News incoming

and I love the Irony

 

[EscoBlades]

It's Fox News.

lol

Should have been first post

 

[Lkr]

gamers are watching Fox and Friends?

 

[Halo 2]

They made the logo look all puffy and gross.

 

[Corpekata]

Too perfect. One of those "Not sure if The Onion"moments here.

 

[BigTnaples]

That is awesome.

More like whoever designed the graphic knows about the game and did a poor job copying it.

 

[7DollarHagane]

I'd love to think this is the result of a guerrilla graphic designer at Fox, throwing not so subtle comparisons between their segment on immigration and how it's awful and the "utopia" of columbia in the game.

This is amazing by the way.

 

[Sullichin]

They combined the Denny's logo and the Bioshock Infinite logo. This somehow makes perfect sense.

 

[la_briola]

Defending the Homeland is a show/segment about immigration? Is this some kind of satire?

 

[marrec]

I remember when Infinite's logo was first unveiled someone predicted that Fox News would co-opt it in some way.

They were joking. :-/

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

"Defending the Homeland"

Wow

 

[Y0j1mb0]

and I love the Irony

I wonder if the studio conservative audience were all given 77 numbered baseballs.

 

[SovanJedi]

The amount of people, and the TYPE of people, unironically aligning themselves with Bioshock Infinite and its racist bigotry is incredibly worrying. They do know it's a fictional reimagining of history designed for the backdrop of a videogame (and in its own context is something to be reviled) right? ...Right?!

 

[djplaeskool]

Waiting for the PROTECTING OUR RACE bumper graphic.

 

[biezel]

haha graphic design interns

 

[Interfectum]

"Defending the Homeland"

Wow

Dog whistle politics at it's finest.

 

[GoodCoffeeJoey]

Defending the homeland against the foreign hordes.

 

[Emarv]

Ken Levine must love/hate the sweet sweet irony.

 

[massoluk]

Not the first time rightwingers completely missed the point of BioShock.

Its...
Just wow.
Life is nuts, i wonder if they have giant mechanical beasts powered bt family guy reruns.

 

[nrvalleytime]

This... ugh. Fox News continues to be the bastion of all that is wrong with

Spoiler

Columbia

America.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I honestly just looked at the picture and asumed the "Defending the homeland" thing was a sign in Bioshock. Is this real? What the fuck

 

[InsaneTiger]

The irony is palpable.

 

[Protagonist Jake]

Both equally non-sensical and pretentious.

Match made in heaven.

 

[Fox318]

Columbia is pretty much what they want America to be.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

wow

 

[Theecliff]

They actually have a section of their news show called 'Defending the Home Land'? Holy fucking shit

 

[ultratruman]

Reminds me of this http://www.destructoid.com/the-tea-party-doesn-t-understand-bioshock-infinite-267563.phtml

 

[Gaffercake]

Well, at least they like something.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Columbia is Fox News' dream America.

 

[DICKS AHOY]

A parallel Comstock jumped into our universe via a tear, shaved, developed an Australian accent and started an enormous multi-national media company.

 

[everyday math]

"Defending the Homeland" Uggggg

 

[TheSlySoul]

I lost faith in Fox News being rational after hiring Glenn Beck. This just confirms my cynicism.

 

[LiK]

Murdoch is Comstock

 

[Holmes]

As a future immigrant to the USA, I should be offended by the "defend the homeland" slogan. But I know they're not talking about me because I'm white.

:/

 

[Hammer24]

The Onion got their own TV segment? Awesome!

 

[industrian]

"Defending the Homeland"

I'm actually serious when I say "is this Photoshopped?"

 

[Atraveller]

Full circle completed.

 

[Fox318]

Columbia is Fox News' dream America.

 

[adamsapple]

Defending it from what ?

^ Infinite's art is amazing.

 

[nrvalleytime]

As a future immigrant to the USA, I should be offended by the "defend thr homeland" slogan. But I know they're not talking about me because I'm white.

:/

No. They really take exception to illegal immigration, which is far different than gender or racial profiling. There's probably some idiot on the network who's said otherwise, but the immigration process for many people works well (and Fox News acknowledges this).

Illegal immigration though.... man. Ignoring the ethical and moral necessity to help those less fortunate strictly on principle and capitalistic viewpoints is a place I'd never want to visit.

 

[WillyFive]

What would they be talking about that calls for a segment called "Defending the Homeland"?

Did the Russians invade and Fox News has the exclusive or something?
