Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You DownGoogle delighted the world the other day when they turned their logo into one of the more popular arcade games from the early 90s: Pacman. Everyone loves a good throwback, and the unannounced addition of this (probably short-lived) game to the otherwise bland search engine homepage was the talk of the town.
While I was playing, however, I had a revelation:. Take a step back and look at the situation. Pacman comes crashing into what I can only assume, based on the immediate hostility, is the home of these five ghosts and starts scarfing down everything in sight. Then, when the ghosts go to chase him out, he turns on them and eats them. Now they're only a pair of eyes and have to go limping back to their bedroom. They don't stop though, they come right back out and go after him again. Kind of reminds you of you someone fighting desperately for their home doesn't it?
So Pacman invades their home, eats all their food, mortally wounds them several times, and then peaces out once everything is gone. We, as the players, have always just assumed that Pacman was the good guy since he's being directly controlled by us. That doesn't mean anything though (look at GTA). I submit that Pacman is a dick.
