Organizing Sim Protests

Posted by Hemos on from the fight-the-man dept.

Shadow Wrought writes "Alternet has an article about how to go about protesting McDonald's in the Sims Online universe. According to the story "A deal struck between Sims publisher Electronic Arts and the fastfood mega-corporation allows Sims players to open up their own McDonald's kiosk and improve their game stats by consuming McD's greasy goodies." This then tells how to vent any rage that such may conjure. Mayhaps a venue to protest other issues as well?"

    That's not what we call it. Anyway, here's one way to vent your "rage" after eating McDonald's food:
    • One-Cheek Sneak - Lean slightly to one side, raising one buttock marginally. Allow sphincter to relax enough allow "rage" to escape as quietly as possible. Prime purpose is venting of "rage" as surreptitiously as possible.
