Ok, guys, cut it out. It's not funny. Now you're harassing someone because of their religious beliefs.

Zombies = fictional characters (and mighty cool, I might add). Hell raiser could be perceived a couple different different ways. No problem with the Melee Cross, Double Cross core in the Bountys, or crosshatch.

I do see you guys reaching. I stated my stance, and what I believe. You don't have to agree with it.

Everyone has their opinions and beliefs.

The simpler question I ask earlier and will again is: What about the name is controversial or taking it too far?

Maybe something different to everyone. Just a question out of curiosity and nothing more.

Will seeing the actual ball and logo change your opinion?

I wasn't trying to insult or devalue anyone's belief, just asking a question too.

If anyone got offended, my bad. I'm a man of faith, just not as strong as many of you...

It's one of those terms, that may be cool in korea, because there is a comic book or anime(in japan?).  But if the owner is that far out of the loop of the western market,  and the 'buyers beliefs'...then he shouldn't be selling balls in the western world, or at least naming them. 

Maybe he should ask his million and one staffers, "do you think this will offend anyone?"  I mean I have a brain and I would have done so.

That would be like naming a ball, something to do with Lee Harvey Oswald and coming out with it right after jfk's assassination.   Or coming out with a slavery themed ball.  shame on LF, they won't sell and that's not my fault, have fun with you're new negative connotations,  LF.

Got some real intellectual people naming these balls...sheesh.  BTW, I am not offended, although I am a Christian,  I feel (being a business student) that this a bad business move.  It will create buzz, but negative buzz.

The BC hasn't crossed the pacific ocean and may never will. It's not even on the site...so we shouldn't even waste our time lol...

The only time this ball makes it over in the next 3 weeks, is when I have time to bring one back. Or my buddies bring one to me.....

(a couple of you have asked me to bring balls back [megabyte and IQ300], sorry I'm traveling light. not even sure these are released.)

The term cross has different meanings. Add the word bloody to it, it becomes something else. Something sacred (to me, anyways). Pretty sure you couldn't sell a ball named the hamburger in India.

Don't care about the logo or the ball. The name kills it. I mean, I haven't said anything about their naming convention, but do you know how many times I got tricked into clicking on a post on the main page because someone wanted to know about the Bad news, and I thought it was actual bad news? :P

Dang, all this chatter about an overseas ball. Chill out people. If it ends up stateside, nobodys forcing you to buy it. We dont even know if this ball actually exists do we? I havent seen an image.

It does. It is on youtube. Hot pink with a white cross that looks like a tattoo you see commonly.
