No respect

How far will some people go to make money?

Game publicity plan raises grave concerns

I find this sick. The firm should be punished with a very hefty fine if they go along with this.

No respect for someone with such views.

Yeah, but....

You have no savings and mom dies.,
You go into debt for the funeral and headstone.
You get money for advertising, and pay off the expenses.
The ads are down and the headstone is still there.

I really wouldn't mine if it happened to me.. Actually I'm a Leo...
I'd prolly love the extra attention!

From the article:

Quote:
A spokeswoman for the company, which bills the game as a "journey to the Deathside", said: "It's a dark, gory type of game and we thought it was appropriate to raise advertising to a new level."
BS like this exceeds that of politicians and M$ reps.

...........May God have mercy on this pathetic person's soul.........

LOL Thats just funny! Little Timmy goes to mourn his Grandma who just passed away. He places his flowers at her grave, then sees some writing. "Whats this" he says. "Half-Life2 is coming out summer of 2003! WOOWIE! Thanks Grandma!"

That is just stupid...
