Sounds like they need to take a cue from Matt Blunt, who not only steals elections, but banned all video games, (which he calls "[an] often violent style of entertainment",) from Missouri's prisons because video games apparently make one socially retarded.
This is after the violent video games had been removed from the correctional facilities - a move similar to the modest steps taken by the SGAPP.
From a marketing perspective. The peripheral publicity and news coverage will be quite large, even if no one ever sees the guy's forehead. And they'll get the name recognition of being the "hip, edgy company" that tatooed (albeit temporarily) this guy's forehead.
I'm sure Golden Palace doesn't give half a damn whether anyone ever sees their grilled cheese - they bought their way in to an established Internet meme.
But wasn't stuff like this "out" in the mid 90's? ome on, are people still camwhoring and writing stuff on their hairy chests and pixelated boobs?
I could see myself buying one of these. It would be the perfect thing to have with me to help brave the cold. On my way to Starbucks. To get a real cup of coffee.
I think you missed something - if you search hard enough, Wired mag occasionally slips articles in-between the ads (I mean, the ones that aren't blatant ads themselves). I think they start on about p.55 or so.
Now we just need to be able to retro-fit our slacks' zippers with these things, so when that cute girl from accounting walks by in her miniskirt, we can still get up from behind our desks;)
I think the above poster is one of those guys that wanted cold bawls.

I'm saving up my money for EA's NHLPA Lockout '05.
Trevor Linden, I choose you!
(Although being EA, I suspect the game will be wildly unbalanced in favor of the management).

Hopefully they can uncover why the aliens are shooting lasers at our pilots.
I suspect it's something along the lines of "Clear the air space! We've got to get us some red staters to anally probe."
The scientists also discovered, quite inexplicably, that the rover had been outfitted with hydraulics and a startling amount of bling.
No, he was talking about Mos Def. Flava was a part of Public Enemy.

Does this apply to all of the Internets? Or just one?
(I'm just surprised to see that a third world country like Canada can still read it. I'm gonna go on now and order some wood.)

Chris Crawford has a new book titled Chris Crawford on Interactive Storytelling that covers similar ground but from a different angle, and should be very good.
Also, Grand Text Auto is an excellent Interactive Storytelling group blog by some of the important names experimenting in the field today.
