More breaking NEWS!!! EA SIGNS AN ALL-NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH JESUS, GOD TO HOLD EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO HEAVEN Mon Dec 13, 2004 07:36 PM ET LOS ANGELES, Dec 13 (Reuters) - Just hours after signing a record setting deal with the NFL and Player's Inc., video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc. also announced that it had negotiated separate deals with Jesus and God for the sole rights to heaven. The five-year exclusivity deal with Jesus allows EA to maintain control of admittance into the pearly gates, while the ten-year contract with God gives EA majority shareholder status of heaven. "We've faced a lot of heavy competition in the video game industry this year," said EA chief executive Larry Probst, "But this deal allows us to penetrate a market of billions of Christians, especially those in the 'Red States', and their faith-installed subscription base." The licensing agreement is an exclusive for not only heaven, but most of space, which includes the highly lucrative Mars, and may be a potential goldmine for EA. "If there is indeed life on Mars," said Probst, "We know they will want copies of Madden."

Midway has hired the writer of the show "Playmakers" to develop a new title, Blitz: Playmakers. The game will feature everything the NFL hated about the TV show, including drug use, and off-the-field habits the NFL likes to pretend never happens.

It's done. Get over it.

I'll give you a quarter to help pay for your therapy sessions if that's what it takes.

Lol. That was funny.

Some people can't even take a joke. Anyway, this isn't just EA Ports (it's in the name...), this is EA as a whole, they buy just about everything and before you know it, they'll have Konami, Sega, and who knows the Final Fantasy ****ing franchise at the rate they're going.

As a Christian, this is completely not funny. Why don't you pedal your misguided humor somewhere else.
