Doom tributes are taking over billboards in Berlin

December 09, 2009 in Photos comments 4

Four German street artists decided to show their respect toward Doom game in very unusual way. They take over the billboards of popular companies and turn them into tribute to one of the best FPS games ever.

Some big tributes to Doom, the infamously violent early-90s video game, have been taking over billboards in Berlin. Turning commercial propaganda into potential blood baths, street artists Mr Talion, Epoxy, Baveux and Kone pasted unsuspecting ads with the display from the first person shooter favored by the Columbine High School killers.

    wow, no wonder Germany can't enjoy the more violent games, media articles such as this one stops them, I mean why the hell do they even mention the columbine killings in this article?

    Either way I'll keep my eyes open for these since I live in Berlin...though looking at the photos, they may not be around my area

    Oh man this is awesome. Haha nicely done German artists.

    What's up with this line though: "first person shooter favored by the Columbine High School killers. " ?!?! That is such a dumb thing to say. Doom was one of the most popular games of the day. Those kids liked it and so did another many many millions. It's dumb to mention it like there is some sort of connection between Doom and their real-life mass murdering...
