Now tell me if IGN has not released the demons from hell with this new marketting style - I call it: 'Adver-raping'...

You think they could at least make the color scheme easier on the eyes, the whole site looks like McDonalds started a gaming division. They did the same thing with Nokia awhile back though, but at least the color scheme was blue and looked somewhat tolerable. Meh, I get my news from Blues News and Shacknews anyhow.
:: pukes repeatedly, recovers, pukes again :: Its not long now, that was the sixths sign. People don’t believe me, but fileplanet and Gamespy will soon peddle similar stuff. Soon as they started making you create accounts to d-load stuff and began gathering personal info they opened themselves up to corporate slaughter.

Now absolutley no one can claim that Mc*** isnt targeting the youth with their addictive fat enriched psudofood. And Carbs are addictive, the government just cant tax the crap out of fast food so its not getting as much heat as the cigarette thing.
But think about it:
Playland Toys in happymeals All the popular kids movies
All targeting kids to become addicted to fast food, which doesnt come with conviniant warning lables from the surgeon general. I wouldnt be surprised if we started getting major product placement in our games ( :: coughs:: MAtrix Re-bloated :: cough :: )

It feels good
When you know you're sown
A superdope homeboy from the Oaktown

And get a fly girl and catch this beat
While it's rolling

Why you standing there, man?
U can't touch this
Yo,sound the bells, school is in, sucker
U can't touch this

Making 'em sweat
That's what I'm giving'em
Now they know
You talk about the Hammer, you're talking about a show
That's hyped and tight
Singers are sweating so pass them a wipe
Or a tape to learn
What it is going to take in the '90s
To burn the charts
