Pretty much everything I have heard about Homefront since the game was first announced has convinced me that THQ and this VP in particular are a bunch of arrogant, pretentious hacks, and this pretty much confirms it. If it wasn't enough for them to repeatedly yell at us that Homefront was serious and moving, while at the same time touting the fact that they had the writer of Red Dawn involved, then there was their awful marketing campaign which officially puts them up there with Zygna in the list of 'Games companies who have been fined by San Francisco for an advertising campaign'. Then there was the way how when word leaked that the single player was five hours long, they claimed they were never interested in singleplayer anyway and the game was supposed to go head to head with Call of Duty. Finally, we see in action the biggest cop-out statement of all time, the 'you can't criticise my work because it's ART' line; also recently dropped by Baz Luhrmann in relation to Australia: "You can't criticise it because it's an epic in the same league as Gone With the Wind."
And yet, at the end of the year, this guy will probably be taking home a bonus. We live in the age where marketing is more valued than true quality, as EA are regularly quick to demonstrate...
