Re: Conventional Booth Babe Dating Contest?!
Fri, July 31, 2009 - 11:50 AMWell, I guess this means that it was a piggy event from beginning to fizzle. Or, um, perhaps to radical for corporate to handle? Anyone know whose idea this was in the first place? (Maybe I'll ask that in person first chance I get as one or more folks in the know here might be, well, in the know...) -

Fri, July 31, 2009 - 4:52 PMYou know, I have a connection to EA and sent of a 'dude WTF' email to him. His reply was 'I know, pretty disgusting .... what were they thinking?'

Fri, July 31, 2009 - 8:03 PMIt was probably one random marketing person who pitched it well at an 8AM meeting <lol>. I mean, hell, they (they being all companies, not just EA) make an ART of creating horrid TV commercials, so why should EA's marketing department be different? -

Re: Conventional Booth Babe Dating Contest?!
Fri, July 31, 2009 - 11:55 PMYeah, one imagines that attention to detail is very low at those 8am meetings at EA...especially with there being ready wireless access and lots n lots of beta testing to do. -

Fri, September 11, 2009 - 10:26 AMfollow up on the "viral" marketing campaign from EA. Looks like this is intentional stuff that's going on. Not cool:

To be fair, a gay guy won the contest so at least it was an EO kind of EA stupid.
