I am fairly certain that EA’s marketing department are intentionally doing “PR fuckups”, since it gets their games a lot of press coverage.

There was the Mercs 2 petrol thing, and the Godfather 2 knuckleduster thing.

If there is one thing EA are not going to do it is hire idiots to do their PR.

“‘Commit acts of lust’ is simply a tongue-in-cheek way to say take pictures with costumed reps,” said the publisher.’”

Now if only they had printed “take pictures with costumed reps” instead of “commit acts of lust” on the flyer.

Nice to know Activision’s PR people have found a new home.

Seems like EA really need to ditch the people doing the PR for Dante’s. That’s the second time they’ve ballsed it all up.
