MX vs ATV faux lesbians

What is it about marketers and faux lesbians? I actually read a psychology paper that suggested the reason men like “lesbian” porn is because the only penis involved in their mind is their own and that it’s therefore hotter for them because the ‘size doesn’t matter’ rule comes into play. I don’t know if that’s true, but it does make me wonder as to the penis size of all the guys on the marketing team at THQ games.

If you’re wondering why, take a peek at the clip below. It’s an advert for their upcoming game ‘MX vs ATV Untamed’, as you’ll see it has a whole lot to do with the game, no really… well... if the game were called ‘MX Porn Faux Lesbian vs ATV Porn Faux Lesbian’, which is isn’t. Maybe in THQ’s dictionary ‘Untamed’ reads:

Untamed
Adjective
Use faux lesbianism in game advert to hopefully sell to brain-dead teen boys still not savvy enough to realize your game is probably crap--so needs faux lesbianism and bare naked girly asses to sell it.

It ReAlLy annoys me when companies do this. Anyone remember when EA did this for one of their driving games?
Usually means the game is sub par.

one word..........

Pathetic

I wouldn't mind game-advertising something with faux lesbians if it would make any sense towards the actual game? I could surely dream up a nice game-ad for Mass Effect along that line ;-)

This one however is indeed cheap and pathetic and i'm sure they only did it to create interest in an awful game that can't stand on it's own.

As a gamer and a member of the offroad community at large I am doubly offended. It's bad enough when beer companies try this nonsense.
