Hurrrr

In the newly released E3 2009 trailer for Obsidian Entertainment's new RPG, Alpha Protocol, a distinct sign with words in Russian can be seen in the background in one of the scenes.

 

"In case of fire,

Kill steal,

F*ck geese

Wait for the response signal."

 

F*ck geese? Seriously? Obsidian, you have some explaining to do. A little bit of digging reveals homage to a strange new Russian meme. My friend and translator, Ausir, suggests that Obsidian may have simply did a Google Image Search for "Russian Fire Warning" and came up with the image.

 

Thanks to Ausir, sp3tsnaz and Oleg for the wonderful translation.

I don't get it. I thought all fire warning signs read like that?

According to the poster, its Russian humour

 

its Russian humor, its basically saying NOT to do stupid ****, it uses reverse psychology..a lot of Russian humor is based on reverse psychology.

The trailer turned into an awesome viral video for all the post-Soviet gamers who understand Russian. It travels over the Runet insanely fast. Actually I have discovered an Alpha Protocol site, and therefore, this forum, cause of my curiosity about that fire warning. Is it an Obsidian PR trick?
