Sonic that hypocrite! Did he not watch his own Sonic Sez segments?
lol best find ever
Looks like he’s doing an impression of Popeye.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
this seems so wrong…
Sonic….. smoking….! HOW COULD YOU!
Ahem. At least we all know better that Sonic would never do this.
smoking sonic?
Lame.
“It’s like giving each kid a packet and saying ‘Light up!’ ”
Bonus points to anyone who gets that reference.
Glad to see, after the response of Ben smoking in a Top 5 video and this image, that D.A.R.E. is finally pulling through for you kids.
Only in Russia. At least he’s not promoting beverages, like Soda Popinski! That Russian Boxer, with his Soda bottles, I knock one out of his hand, and get a Star Punch.
What next? Amy promoting lingerie?
…
…let’s not go there.
I call fake, this is the real Sonic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBR9tgTM0bI .
Damn Russians!
SEGA should sue for improper use for their mascot!
I would love it if someone photoshopped the body of that Sonic sticking a finger up at natzis whilst wearing that backpack from about a week ago.
Only cool kids smoke 8D
What is this I don’t even…
I can imagine Shadow doing that, but not Sonic.
Heh, it seems wrong, but I’m not really surprised to see something like this from another country, especially one with such a different culture to ours.
That’s no good.
Sue them! Yes! Do that!
An infringement of copyright, using a famous trademark character to promote advertising without an official agreement! Sue them! Sue them now!
Sue them all! (ie only those involved with the creation of the ad. Don’t sue EVERYONE, that would cause an unnecessary uproar)
This is why we fought the Cold War.
@F1Krazy
Amy promoting lingerie? Ha ha ha, that would be hilarious.
On the Sonic smoking thing I doubt Sega endorsed this so maybe we should let them know so the culbrits can get their asses sued.
Smoking as usual I see?
Smoking? He’ll be shooting up in a back alley before we know it!
My my, Sonic has grown up…
This looks better than sonic 4
explains his speed…
Whoa…Isn’t that something, again you learn something new everyday…Or you see that is XD
…Well, my childhood is dying, dying……
dead.
oh hell no. D:
I love the Russians.
It is interesting, in what city (Moscow Sankt-peterburg Novosibirsk or another) it have made?
I live in Russia, but saw Sonic pics only in console shops, but not with cigarettes! (sorry if i made mistakes)
Oh, and i whant to say that pic with smoking Sonic on a window is a poor imagination of sellers, what you want from that idiots, who locate
their sigarets shops nearer than 10 meters to school! Maybe, they do that becouse Sonic is most known game caracter in our country?
0_0 legal action time!
Whoever did that artwork is a grade A @$$hole
Did someone say FAIL? Whoever did this should be ashamed.
M : Totally
In soviet russia…Sonic smokes you!
@Kits’Okami: Mrs. Doubtfire.
Where’s my prize, bi-otch?
…..>_>…..
NOOOOOOO!!!
*ahem* well I know Sonic would know better than to smoke….right?
@Extaticus: Dammit! I new the answer too… lol I think this is pretty funny. and I think you all need to see a South Park episode entitled “Butt Out”.
