Apparently people at Ubisoft near Paris were kinda bored so they put up this

Their neighbour at BNP didn't take it well so they replied with this

They even countered with this Pac Man

But Ubisoft didn't declare defeat and pulled up the biggest icon

Not to be outdone BNP managed to get the help of the famous elf

And so on, I'm not linking them all since the people who did are actually doing a very good job describing it all.

for the second link, I'd advise no one to use the second link as Google managed to put plenty of bad translation tidbit where stuffs are translated with the opposite sense of what is actually said.

Did a quick search and found nothing
Mock if old.

Jesus, could those images be any bigger? ._.

 

[Dibbz]

[KingDizzi]

Why are the British National Party in Paris ?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Mock if big.

 

[shuri]

Bloated, blurry and futile -- Just like Ubisoft Paris' style of design!

 

[Coen]

Why are the British National Party in Paris ?

BNP is a large French bank.

 

[SmokyDave]

If you view this thread from miles away, the images in the OP make a mural of a Space Invader.

Why are the British National Party in Paris ?

I have a punchline for this but I ain't going there. Let's just say it has something to do with the French pronunciation of 'Paris'.

 

[Mael]

Jesus, could those images be any bigger? ._.

Found other sources for the images so they're smaller than what you can find in a typical pc HD thread....
sorry.

And BNP stands for Banque National de Paris, who merged with Paribas quite a while ago,

 

[Hot Coldman]

BNP loses for fucking up the Link sprite

 

[Mael]

So cold.

Haha, that seems like fun.

 

[JimboJones]

Mario has been decapitated.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Oh, you mean the bank. I came in here thinking that Ubisoft were working on a line of racial equality games or something...

 

[dragonelite]

[orioto]

Those french people are so amazing

 

[2San]

Ubi lost that one. The MegaMan is amazing.

 

[Kozak]

Are people really complaining about the size of the pictures :S

I'm running a 22" and they're fine..

and here I thought everyone at GAF was sporting a 32"+

 

[Mael]

Those french people are so amazing

the most impressive part is not the people at Ubisoft doing because let's face it they've got enough talented people to pull that off.
No the impressive part is the bank actually responding and shaming Ubisoft at their own game.
They put up very impressive stuffs : Megaman, Link, the dino from Bubble Bobble...

They're fine now, they were 4 times the size they are now when the thread was made...

Yes that's pretty surprising cause not everyone is that geeky in the society.
