EA does viral RIGHT

This pretty awesome. Levinator25 on YouTube uploaded a video from last year's Tiger Woods title showing off what he considered a funny glitch:

Some companies would probably get all pissy, showing off a bug in their title. Well, like all good programmers say, "it's not a bug, it's a feature." EA responds with this:

Now that is some badass marketing. Bravo EA.

Jesus saves, everyone else forgets their memory cards. You've got to give EA props for taking it in stride. Also, if Tiger Woods could really do that I would watch more golf.

Ha. That's epic. Tiger Woods has Jesus powers just like Tom Cruise.

I haven't laughed at a marketing ad for a game in a while, but that was pure win.

I wonder how demeaning it is to one's psyche to be pwned by an entire game company. This is one of the few times where I can say "You rock EA" with a straight face.

That video was fucking hilarious, and I guess it just goes to show you that Rufus (the 13th apostle, FYI) was right........Jesus wasn't white, he was black. And apparently he loves to play golf.......... Those sand traps in the desert must have been brutal, huh?
