Okay, either you have been paid by EA to write that or it was a copy and past from EA's own media release. Otherwise the world must look and taste like one giant colon since your lips are permanently attached to EA's a**.

Nope wrong on both counts, just thought it would be important to put some news up about the event.

I don't see many details coming out for the EA Sports game, but would be interesting if there is anything for any of the Sims stuff, Spore included.

Thank you for showing me the error of my ways. Blink, I bow to your brilliantly funny mind, thanks for putting me back on to the straight an narrow.
Maybe I was a bit harsh, however it seems to me that posting an EA media release word for word isn't really news.

I'd say it was news. Just because he didn't offer his personal opinions on the subject you think it's not news? I'd say it was news. Great News. Not the news itself but the writing of the news... if that makes sense
