    I'm looking at an IMDB page with a big EA logo and some helicopter but no indication what so ever as to which game is being advertised.... is this EA's new strategy?

    Plus I'm sure if you would have scrolled up to the top of the page you would have seen a banner for The Run

    I was wrong. THAT is indeed more hilarious. Also pretty funny that Dennis Quaid's illegitimate brother here either recognized the acronym or took the episode title as a clue and pieced it together. I would be saddened if it was just a Google job.
     
    BTW, this chick gave me the best Goog-job the other night. That's what she called it, so it's totally not racist.

    I'm not going to deny it, I do watch a little Pawn Stars every now and then. It's not that bad for a poor-man's Antique's Roadshow. Anyway, they constantly show ads for that Ice Road Truckers show, which is apparently not even about white trash meth addicts trying to make a year's wages in a few weeks from driving semi trucks over frozen bodies of water anymore! It's now about white trash meth addicts trying to make a year's wages in a few weeks by driving semi trucks through the mountains of South America or some shit.

    Actually, yes. This thread with a screenshot of an unnamed EA title and IMDB movie at the 'focus' and using the periphery movie piracy screen capture as a ploy to spread awareness of NFS The Run and The Help and reduce sales for the Super 8 bluray. This whole thing is post-viral marketing at its finest.

    It does? I saw Super 8 in theaters and it totally bored the crap out of me. I expected it to be "totally mint!" but instead it was a violent E.T. film and nothing more.

    Neither do I and I still consider it a waste of bandwidth. You've slightly slowed down your neighbors for Ice Road Truckers. Shaaaame.

    Being a pirate is not cool. There are a lot of people who has families that depend on the money they make from their films. If you can't support them, then don't watch their movies.

    We have a 50 Gig limit on our internet. Needless to say we use it up in the first week or two of the month. Canadian ISPS are greedy assholes.
