Typical corporation shit..Profits are up by huge percentages but "hey lets lay people off....". Its not the games as EA usually puts out shallow crap just the usual corporate greed.
EA has been making crap lately. The fact that ESPN 2k4 and 5 has been kicking Madden's ass for the past 2 years is not news,the same goes for their hockey and basketball lines. ESPN continued to tweak gameplay and graphics to the point that it looks and feels like a real game--not to forget that videogame magazines,websites and tv shows have noticed and gave more favorable reviews to ESPN despite pressure from the mega publisher. So I may not buy console football for another 5 years f---it. I doubt the doj will get involved unless the smaller companies make a big deal of it.
In the mid term elections Karl Rove said that he has to paint Bush as some sort of American savior, A strong leader. Then they put him an airforce uniform he declares "Mission Accomplished", people are cheering-blah blah blah--"A strong leader"-meanwhile much doubt has been cast about his actual military record. He only appears to be a better choice because the media whether so-called mainstream or right wing paints him that way. No one bothers to look into what really happens or challenge any of their positions, they just feed into the easy and constant media hype. This administration does not like to take any accountability for anything and dare someone challenge them. Look at what happened to Joe Wilson the ambassador who revealed that the uranium documents were forged. After that was revealed someone in the administration leaked out that his wife is a CIA operative which basically damaged her career. The point is that they deliberately deceived people about Saddam, not that it was some intelligence failure-just look at the news they lie in our faces. Making allies is a better idea, in case you only watch FOX News, most of the enitre world was against the Iraq War-a pretty strong statement. No ties between 9/11, Al Queda, no wmds. If they're gonna bring up he gassed his own people-guess what he gave him the gas and alot of other wmds and coordinates, etc. He was "Our boy"in the Middle East. The United States will not attack North Korea because they can defend themselves and the threat of nuclear war is very serious, same goes for Iran. Recently China had something to say about this preemptive war bullshit and you really dont want to piss off the Chinese-not only is their armed forces bigger but they have nukes too.People really need to look at alternative sources of information to really make informed decisions.
Unfortunately you and alot of other people believe in this neverending boogieman called "terrorism" that the Bush Administration has used in its propaganda to wage a continuous war. its a just a scare tacticv.Lets face it history does not lie-The
Reagan-Bush Era--there was a so called "War on Terror", when that lost its popularity then it became the "War on Drugs", then poverty, crime..etc. and guess what? none of it worked. When the republicans get into office they plunge the country into a huge deficit which eventually leads to a recession. Then they give out these huge tax cuts to corporations and other millionares and who foots the bill?--the public, in turn they start talking about "Fiscal Responsibilty" which basically means cutting back on services to the states. The same argument was made when Clinton got elected--"oh shit he's gonna raise taxes" , Gingrich, Lott and a bunch of republicans were against it. In the meantime we managed to enjoy a time of prosperity in U.S.. The armed forces are result of the Clinton Administration not Bush's and the beginning of the war on terrorists started with him not Bush-remember they were at sleep at the wheel. Also for the fact the Bush got the job because the Supreme Court who his dad got many of those judges appointed--judge Anthony Scalia's son and his daughter both got jobs in the administration after the decision. Clarence Thomas wife works for the heritage foundation--some right wing nut group. Sandra O'connor said that "It was terrible" when she heard Gore won. Plus the blatant lying and secrecy to the public regarding the war in Iraq,Enron,Halliburton,9/11,enviromental policies should be enough to bring in the articles of impeachment for this guy.

I don't care what happens but let someone like Peter Jackson or Steven Spielberg direct them.
