EA Announces Pee In Your Mouth

For months EA has been trying to convince the world that they are not the company known as "Electronic Arts" but rather a non-profit (of the losing money kind) that supports electronic arts. They even went as far as to fund some indie games and release an "indie bundle." And they even charged for it the low price of fifteen dollars!

Ha ha! Just kidding! Actually they charged seventy dollars, and a cat.

The official response from the world to EA's indie attempt was: "A CAT?!!"

Yes, it's been a tough year for the non-profit. But they are finally on the verge of resurrecting their image from the graveyard of disgrace, and turning it into the zombie of mirth, by doing the most artsy, philanthropic thingy in the company's non-profit's history.

Two days ago, EA quietly announced that they are funding and marketing Pee in Your Mouth. An indie game.

To learn more about this -- yesterday we sent Buddy to California to interview EA about the project (they won't answer our emails and phone calls; in fact, nobody does; nobody reads our blog...). But, because of our strapped budget, we decided that Buddy should go by Greyhound bus. And, unfortuntately, we found out -- via a computer in the local unlocked neighbor's house -- that EA posted e-very-y-thing about the project on the web. And Buddy's still out there, on a bus. Probably in Arizona by now.

Anyways, EA says, on the choosing of the project, that they spent a week googling all the indie game projects in the world, and (this is what finally gives them their indie cred) at random they chose to support one. And they just happened to choose Pee in Your Mouth.

Pee in Your Mouth's only designer, John John John, states in the official EA announcement post: "It is my dream come true. I am so excited to bring this game to the world. There are so many games that let you be a general or a president or a soldier or whatever. But my game will let you be someone who drinks pee."

EA says they plan to spend forty million dollars (U.S.) in developing and marketing Pee in Your Mouth. It will utilize the motion sensor technologies of the Kinect, PlayStation Move, and the Nintendo Wii.
