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?"

    I'd comment on the atrocity of providing simulated rewards for behavior that would be unacceptable in the real world, but I don't want to harm my karma.

    Then this begs the obvious question of where's the Starbuck's suit? They serve NOTHING BUT coffee. They also appear to be on more corners than even McDonald's. Yet they strangely managed to "dodge" this particular bullet.

    They have better cups, they include extra installation, and they don't keep it as hot.

    At the very least, McDonald's deserved a PR black eye from the otherwise suppresed supports of people getting severe burns from their coffee.

    Why are you twits so quick to completely ignore the suppression of information present in that case?
