"Sin to Win" takes an unexpected turn...

[HardRockSamurai]

I just came across this story, and I felt that I just had to share it.

We all know about the fiasco that is EA "Sin to Win" contest; which urged Comic-Con attendees to "commit acts of lust" (i.e- take a picture with a booth babe), causing a sexual harassment catastrophe the likes of which we've never seen.

Well, the pictures are in, and guess which one was a runner up?

That's right: thanks to the "booth bear," the "acts of lust" just became a whole lot...lustier...

Apparently, a representative from gaygamer.com took a picture with a "booth bear," sent it in, and won the runner up prize. However, I should note that sent the money back to EA, along with some well deserved advice on how to avoid such a fiasco in the future. Seeing as it's been such a touchy issue as of late, it's nice to see it take a light-hearted turn.

Your thoughts?

I wonder if they're just trying to set an example before that conference of theirs. Probably not.

Oh I see how it is. Gaygamer dude gets to sexually harrass that boothbabe buts it's ok? Then he bashes EA? Ahh equality how strange your ways are.

Poor guy he looks like he is about to cry. You can almost feel his pain.

I just thought they should've been more...I dunno shown guidelines on the dos and do nots in pics to avoid sexual harrasment...I dunno,

But I think it was a nice idea to get people in the mindset for these games, however it looks like they are trying to stir up controversy to get their game some much needed publicity...which however is the sign of a mediocre game!

If they go out of there way to be controversial then they are just using the fanatical Christains for their power to get pissed and to complain to the media for attention. I make a good assumption that the game will be another GOW knock-off that destroys an IP which could've been used so much better!
