Please, this is one of the least embarrassing viral campaigns ever. Remember "All I Want for Christmas is..."? That's the kind of stupidity can never be unseen. This one is nothing compared to that.

I think his point is that this would be a much more clever stunt had it been pulled by a company anyone actually liked. For a company that just sells entertainment software, EA has done a pretty job of showing us their ugly side on a number of occasions.
 
Plenty of people here on AT have long known EA to be the Electronic Anti-Christ (or equivalent in other religions) due to their buggy, rehashed titles.

That was the OP's goal, now he knows who the closet EA fanboys are.

Some of the replies to the report of this being a viral marketing stunt are amusing.

I think a better analogy would be if someone dressed as someone dressed in a turban rushed the Call of Duty booth with a bomb on his chest that just exploded into confetti

Or if they had hired a bunch of big nosed guys in yarmulkas to push people out of the way to pick up coins on the ground and yell "I'm saving up for new game X!"

Now that would get some publicity!
