The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

tought you guys might find this funny or interesting...

Publicity stunt around the video game release of Mercenaries2 - mercenaries "take over" a gas station and give away free gas.

http://news.bigdownload.com/2008/08/29/ ... gas-in-la/

look at the "live broadcasts" in thumbnails at the bottom of this link

in addition to the LA free gas event, the had one in London, UK, but people weren't that happy. Particularly the politicians.

They did this and the Police stepped in and shut the Petrol Station down because it jammed the roads for miles and it was getting a bit strained, looks like prosecutions may follow.

It was on London local news UK.
