EA Encouraging Playing Hooky from Work?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the remember-that-gamers-work-two-jobs dept.

WebGangsta writes "Electronic Arts has proclaimed August 10th to be National Madden Vacation Day. Why? That's the day that MADDEN 2005 is being released, and they want everyone to stay home from work to play football all day. They've even gone so far as to publish fake jury duty summons and sick notes for you to give to your boss." I'd think the giant Madden logo on each form would be a dead giveaway, but they're still fun to print out and adorn your workspace with.

      I used to have a coworker who would call in blind. "I just can't see coming in to work today..."
