Wow. Maybe they noticed everyone making fun of them.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

I saw a Plants vs. Zombies version of that stupid "play now, my lord" ad. It made my day.

It was on Penny Arcade but I don't know if it's still up.

It was hilarious.

EDIT: Okay I found it

Strange when a parody has had more work put into it than the original.

My impression was more about medieval intercourse in 3d Graffix.



Turns out, it's this crappy game involving civ in 'real-time'.

The chat-log is spammed every once in a while by guys/girls looking for the maiden in need of saving 'Where's the hot girl?' or 'lol i don't see no chicks, this game suxx. lol'. One guy even countered, saying 'Go to the home page, close your eyes, and do whatever the heck you 12 year olds do.'

After playing for a while some chick PM'ed me saying there was no hot girl, but she'd be willing.

Ugh. The advertising makes the fanbase.
