Barcode In New Hitman Trailer Leads To A NSFW Product Listing
Earlier today, Square Enix officially revealed Hitman: Absolution. It doesn't show a whole lot, but one thing it does show clearly is a barcode. It's shown with a black background with white bar code lines, but some curious fellow over on Reddit swapped the colors to the standard scheme so that iPhone product app RedLaser could recognize it. We scanned it to see what it was, and it takes you to an...interesting Amazon listing.
More specifically, it takes you to the product page for the "Drawstring Double Dong D**do Bag," which comes in "Starry Night Blue." Yes, the barcode in the trailer is a barcode for a double-ended d**do bag. I know Agent 47 is fond of killing people in creative ways, but I didn't know this is what Square Enix had in mind when game director Tore Blystad said "For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy." It all makes perfect sense now.
