Normally I'm really highbrow. I wear a smoking jacket at entirely inappropriate times, fill my pipe with the shredded remains of a Jane Eyre first edition and often refer to cars as "horseless cars." However, neither that trademark pretension nor my inability to read Polish could tarnish my glee after receiving this link from Polish site Polygamia collecting the vaguely infamous nudie pics EA has been using to promote Need for Speed: ProStreet, the Old Man and the Sea of peeling out and assuming all Asian people hang tiny dragons from their rearview mirrors.
See, that link contains two of my favorite things in the history of mankind: the female body unsullied by age, child birth, meth addiction, animal attacks or nuclear fallout and laughably sexist renditions of the old adage "sex sells."
Surely, placing fantastic breasts in front of phallic motor vehicles is as close to actually having a woman insert the NFS:PS disc into her vagina as you can get without actively upsetting the then-marginalized female denizens of the 'net, and to EA's credit, the target audience for a game like this is exactly the sort who wouldn't be bothered by things like sexism, or the fact that Susan B. Anthony's zombified corpse is a ravenous beast hungering only for brains and the male genitalia they happen to be encased within.
All that aside though, even the most bra-burningly active activist can't deny the beauty found in nekkid ladies. Girls are pretty. Pretty girls especially so. With that in mind, let's all forget about the underlying social issues present in this piece and instead just marvel at the grace of the female form.
It's what John Wayne would do.
(Also, I should have mentioned that that link isn't work-safe a while ago, but if any of you actually get fired for glorifying beauty, your boss never loved you in the first place.)
Need for Speed what?
I find it really funny for that the girls have nothing to do with racing itself.
I guess it's more of a tatic to lure sex crazed teenage guys into buying the game.
Prostreet sucks so much they have to go trashy porno in order to sell it. If you're a 360 or PS3 owner, hell even a PS2 owner there's no reason for you to own this terrible game. This game will probably sell like hotcakes on the Wii because the only decent racing game on the system is Excite Truck. AS Holllywood has proven time and time again: shit sells as long as it's pretty shit.
I stopped caring about NFS after the first Underground.
I get my racing fix from Burnout (for the crashes) and Midnight Club (for the customization). Then again, I rarely have a racing desire to fulfill, so it's even more rare that I fix it with anything, haha.
What can I say, I'm an action gamer, not a racing one. Oh well.
Need for Speed is fail.
Boobs, however, are always win. Thanks for the "heads up". :P
"Need For Sex"
lol
I like that they are taking this approach.
Wait, did you just say that Susan B. Anthony's zombified corpse loves the cock?
I love the polish...
Damn straight, sex sells. After seeing those pictures, I bought a Ferrari F430.
Yeah Up. I'm trying to patent the triple entendre.
How'd it work for you? Feeling light-headed? Nauseous? Need a nap?
Best. Game Ad. Ever.
I wasn't planning on buying this game, but dude... tits.
did anybody buy this game?
Need for Speed PROstitutes
Nice tits.
Too bad the game is a joke. It's like money down the toilet for the developer.
Man, I love Page3. It makes my chewy center all warm and melty.
I was sold at breasts.
i've got no complaints about the ads, but it doesn't get me interested in the game.
This is as much of a put-off as Ubi using Jade Raymond for every interview to sell Assassin's Creed.
the use of tits to promote a game that's heavily defined as nothing short of very shitty is still good promotion, me thinks.
wow! great marketing approach! Maybe Assassins Creed will go this route with Ms. Raymond for the sequel! Take notes Ubisoft! But seriously, these sluts are hot!
on another note.
Matriarch Benezia = BITCH!

I fully support this type of ad campaign for every game that is marketed to me. Will I buy more shitty games because of this? No. But I will see more tits. And that, my friends, is always a good thing.
Fuzzy's got the right idea.
Did you mean "horseless carriages?" That is to say, referring to cars as "horseless cars" sounds a bit silly to me. Might be a meme I don't know of.
Pff, if you were really highbrow, you wouldn't have used the word car twice in the same sentence. Such a horrid linguistic faux pas!
Well, last-two-people, that was the gag. Exactly what you both said, in fact, was the gag.
Would you have preferred "birdless zeppelins?"
Don't be ridiculous. Zeppelins don't use birds.
face + palm / zero
See what you made me do? Now I have to go power cycle the universe!
Well I'm sorry if you didn't catch the inherent irony in my comments. They were actually uproariously funny, it's not my fault the rest of the world is too foppishly feeble minded to grasp the subtle intricacies of my gloriously resplendent humour.
THAT'S THE OTHER GAG!
YOU'RE STEALING ALL OF MY MATERIAL!
Purchases game lol jk
o those polish...why no halo 3 noods?
EA are gods!
Boobs are awesome, NFS series however is a boring shitfest.
Having something awesome like boobs, next to something shitty like NFS only serves to emphasize how awesome boobs are and how shitty NFS is.
Your plan has failed EA, badly.
Nex, the "horseless cars" line gave me a much-needed laugh. Two people in this thread need to update their senses of humor. :)
@Elrando
They could have taken a screenshot from Superman 64, place the NFS logo in it, and make the tagline say "Hey, it could be worse." instead of this. Oh well.
->Sharpless: I think you missed the point of my comments(if it was me you were talking about). What you saw there was a fairly deftly executed troll based on the premise of nex's fondness for irony and his self assured superiority. We cool de la.
Nah, I wasn't really paying much attention to who said what. You'll find that I halfass most of my comments by just pretending to know what I'm talking about. You're in the clear.
NFS has been going downhill since Porsche Unleashed and Underground 2. I hope ProStreet crashes and burns.
EA doing something right? :o!
I must have some serious jet lag! Instead of hearing the voices of those two lovely ladies speak in the video, all I could hear were the character voice from the award winning animated short "Creature Comforts". They sound like the polar bears from the short film.
