[Escapist] EA Says Penises Are Fine, But No Boobs, Please

EA doesn't seem to mind the giant penis monsters, but a purple boob beast has apparently gone beyond the borders of good taste.

PC Gamer Editor-in-Chief Kristen Salvatore received a harsh reminder of what it's like to be a woman in a male dominated field when her "Boobalicious" Spore creature was flagged by EA for violating its terms of service.

Following the creation of a hideously deformed giant penis monster by Tim Edwards of PC Gamer U.K., which he claimed in a CVG post as the world's first Spore penis, Salvatore decided there could be only one appropriate response: To create a more femininely-endowed beast of her own, the not-quite-creatively name Boobalicious.

Unfortunately for her, the four-legged funbagger stood out from the multi-thousand-strong phallic phalanx, earning the attention of EA's customer relations department, which sent her the following email:

GamesRadar says Salvatore, who is currently in Los Angeles for a pre-E3 event, has emailed EA about the Boobalicious brouhaha and is still awaiting a reply.

Didn't see this posted anywhere, but go PC Gamer!

I expect this will get lots of views because it has the words "penis" and "boobs" in the title.

.. Get out... So annoying..

And by annoying, im talkng about the references/meme's that I see in random threads.. They need to stay at the stupid sites they were created.. I feel dumber when I see them on OC.net..


Anyways, this seems a little backwards though..

Hell, why even allow a penis then..
