whups

Marketing FAIL. Apparently EA sent out brass knuckles with their press kit for the new Godfather game. It turns out that possession of brass knuckles is illegal most places. And shipping them is illegal too. Whups!

Fail, you say? Sounds like free publicity to me.

Heh - there is that. But I'm pretty sure even game people, who can be a bit on the crazy side, don't really want to go to jail. It's a funny thought though - the kit itself only got them publicity with the people they sent them to, whereas this little stunt got them publicity everywhere!
