They were not put on for effect in my opinion, but to express how it doesn't have any importance in the imagination realm. How dreams, superheroes and childhood culture are boundless. The last paragraph is a wonderful conclusion to this :

This is exactly what Evan was meaning, if you read the article till the end.

Update : I'm stupid. The lengthy post I wrote above is exactly what Evan was meaning in the article's conclusion.

Evan, where are your feet ? :p

Nothing is taboo, and there's even a message in there :

First thing that came to my mind aswell.

That was golden, thanks Leo.

I wasn't able to change for another mouse model since I discovered Naga. Really.

After playing Hitman : Absolution, I cannot succeed in finding anything better in other recent infiltration games. H:A nails it, there are tons of ways to get to a target, and the charisma of Agent 47 is way above Fisher (in Blacklist) or the next Assassin's Creed protagonist.

RIP Assassin's Creed, 2007-2009.

Japan, the only place where bad guys inspire some respect, without having to use a gun.
