Ban of KillerPaintballs.com Advetisements

To:  Paintball Media Promotional Sources

To Paintball Magazine Editiors,
(including, but not limited to, FaceFull, PBX3, PGi, Paintball Sports, Welt, and Action Pursuit Games)

We, the participants in the sport of paintball, their families, and their friends, would like to see the removal and an advertisement ban of "Killer Paintball.com" from all distributed media sources.

Killer Paintballs advertise "blood-like" paint with the slogan "Kill or be Killed" which promotes the type of violence that the industry has been trying to disuade from the market in the past years. With the public image in the state that it is, the promotion of such products would bring down the already tarnished image by promoting killing with paintball products.

The advertisement in itself contains very blatant depictions of violence (A person laying on the ground covered in red blood splatter with another player standing above the body aiming down at them in an execution type pose).

Red paint is also banned by most tournaments, events, and fields because of the violent depictions of players coming out covered in red, blood-like marks. This also makes telling real injuries more difficult in comparison because their advertised paint is "thick blood colored fill" and very "realistic" according to their own advertisements.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
