Just too out of place

I was playing the impressively violent and bloody computer game "Left for Dead 2". In it, you play as one of 4 survivors trying to get to a rescue point to escape hordes of zombies. On the way, you have to shoot, blow up or hack to pieces the zombies in your way. Tons of blood.

Anyway, near the end of the game, I noticed something completely out of place. In a guard shack I noticed a "His Kids radio". His Kids Radio is a children's radio broadcast that uses a special radio to pick up the signal. They had taken the radio, removed the big words "Faith & Fun" from the label, flipped it side-to-side and stuck it in the game.

Pictures follow:

The top one is a picture of the radio at my house. The bottom one is from the game after I unflipped the image:



Here is a progression of shots from close to far away to show you that, yes, in fact it is in the game:



So, a Christian children's radio was an object in the game Left for Dead 2. Most people would not recognize it, but since I work for the same organization that runs HKR, I noticed.

How weird is that?
