EA to Ruin Man's Life for APB Marketing Stunt

[superbatranger]

Well, let's see. Tattoos of penises, the word ******, goatse, more penises, swastikas, pentagrams, goatse, more penises, more racial slurs, actual gang tattoos that will surely get this man shot..

Oh, what's the worst that could happen?

 

[Squigie]

This will attract attention.

The question is however if this kind of attention won't disfigure APB into something awful.

Look's like someone's a bit upset that 4chan is getting all the attention. Don't worry, everyone who's anyone knows that the Penny Arcade forums love drawing penises on things too.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Yay! EA is back to there batshit crazy marketing strategy.

 

[RathWolf]

Since when is "Free Runner" an occupation?

 

[warmonkey]

go go gadget eyelid piercings..

when did all the major game companies turn full retard?

 

[orangeapples]

you're all thinking too small.

I see, 8 penises in the shape of a swastika.

 

[Tony2077]

ouch this is worse then electing bush twice


sorry but it's late and I'm tired

 

[MasterChief892039]

Those people are royally screwed. After 4chan's done f*cking up their appearances they'll probably try to send the guys to North Korea.

you're all thinking too small.

I see, 8 penises in the shape of a swastika.

That's... sadistically epic.

I like how this article has suggested something to tattoo on them... and we're currently on the internet as well.

Hell I'd love the public to disfigure a virtual version of Me!


The only problem with this campaign is EA are going to choose safe options to vote on: It's never going to be Pedobear VS Goatse Tattoo

Look at the current players.....A dancer and A Freerunner??? Tools!

 

[DTWolfwood]

LoLz! "Five bucks says that before this is all said and done, either unlucky Jordan or poor Josh will have at least three penises tattooed onto his face." RoFL

 

[Svenparty]

The only problem is this is going to fiercely controlled, I will eat my balls if this "player" doesn't end up a tribal hipster with sunglasses who visits coffee shops. I doubt votes really matter as there must be some hidden disclaimer over offensive images etc

This is a total farce

EDIT:

It;s actually in their terms and conditions:




EA/ Realtime Worlds reserves the right to disqualify votes if it has reasonable grounds to suspect that fraudulent voting has occurred or if it considers there has been any attempt to rig the voting.



EA/ Realtime Worlds reserves the right to cancel or suspend voting at any time.


Realtime Worlds may amend, suspend, withdraw, cancel or re-set the Vote for any reason at its sole discretion and at any time.

EA/ Realtime Worlds decision in relation to all matters affecting the Vote is final.

So is it just tattoos? That's not too bad, I suppose, but still...

...it's the internet.

My thoughts in a nutshell.

 

[Kojiro ftt]

Can't go wrong if all the voting choices are for tattoos that the participants approve of. So if no penis tattoos show up on the ballot, then no penis tattoo can possibly show up on a face.

 

[pretentiousname01]

I want a long cat from the back of his hand to his feet, all the way down the side of his body.

 

[Dana22]

APB is so mediocre game it hurts.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

You have to wonder how many entries there have been for 'EA SUCKS BALLS' to be tattooed on his forehead or 'DRM MADE HERE' just above his ass.

I mean I know those will never get thru, but as an EA employee it'd be pretty depressing to read a few hundred a day, between all the cock suggestions.

Honestly, I'll be surprised if the tats are permanent. Everything else, even piercings can be gone in a few weeks, and the hair grows back.

There is just no way this guy will look good at the end, unless the competition is utterly fixed.

 

[Lionsfan]

I'm guessing these "Models" didn't read the fine print on their contracts and find out the Internet is controlling how they look

 

[Froztwolf]

Don't forget 4chan rigged Justin Bieber's vote so the next country he should tour is N-Korea
Yeah, wouldn't want to be these guys.

 

[Moon_Called]

Hmm. As a character designer, this game sounds very interesting. I'm gonna have to check it out, and I guess that means the marketing has worked.

As far as Josh is concerned...
Oh, the poor, poor man. This will not end well for him.
