CARBONDALE, Ill. — Witnesses were confused upon noticing that the sign displayed by a protester outside a local Planned Parenthood contained an image of the bloody fetus from cancelled 2014 survival horror teaser “P.T.”, sources report.
“I got here for my appointment, and of course there were protesters standing outside,” said patient Janice Kolinsky. “At first, I was intimidated by them because they were getting in my face, but then I saw the sink baby from ‘P.T.’ on one of their signs and it reminded me of when I played that game. I was scared then, too, but I kept going. That gave me the courage to push through them and into the building. I’m not sure why that person used that image, but I’m weirdly grateful that they did.”
Bystander Zack Van Arstin reacted to the sign.
“I always wondered where these idiots get the pictures for their signs,” Van Arstin said. “I mean, I get that they probably don’t play video games and wouldn’t be familiar with that character, but can’t they at least tell that the image is obviously computer-generated? They didn’t even have the good sense to use an AI image creator. Just looking at it is making me sad, but only because I never got to play the ‘Silent Hill’ installment that it’s from. I guess I’ll just go home and replay ‘P.T.’”
Sociologist Fiona Martinez has seen this before.
“People who protest outside abortion clinics are unable to grasp the concept of bodily autonomy, so what makes you think they’re capable of making a logical sign?” Martinez noted. “And this isn’t even the most ridiculous one I’ve come across in my case studies. That would have to go to the sign with the image of Sam and the Bridge Baby from ‘Death Stranding’ above the caption ‘Real Men Raise Their Children’. Their stupidity would almost be endearing if they weren’t harassing people who are just trying to receive medical care.”
At press time, another protester was seen displaying an image of the ghost Lisa from “P.T.” with the caption ‘I Regret My Abortion’.
