I’m a huge Tiger Woods fan. The man completely revitalized the sport of golf at a time when it desperately needed an infusion of youth, color (literally and figuratively), and energy. Not only that, he’s one of the best golfers in the history of the sport, with such incredible performances as his playoff win in this year’s U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which he pulled off with a double stress fracture and a torn ACLboth in his left leg. He’s a wizard when he’s got a golf club in his hands, and now the marketing geniuses at EA have proved it, once and for all.
I won’t say anything about the video; you’ll just have to watch it for yourself. All I’ll say is this: the comments of Levinator25’s original video are now filled with gems such as “PWNT BY EA SPORTS.”

It's becoming a more and more distant thought every day to think of EA as a bad company.
It's like they realized that being a good, innovative, and progressive company is the best way to make money. And I'm completely fucking happy all around.
Great Ad. But its just that, an ad. My feelings towards EA still havent changed.....though Activision has most certainly garnered a bigger percentage of my hate as of the last year or so.
I really Hate Golf Games, But when this guy arrived and whit the guys of EA Soports making his games, i say "finally i can stop playing Mario Golf", now whit this Ad, i definitly love EA :3

Very clever video. :)
What you can't see is that the pond is filled with the corpses of all of EA's competition - they had to be hiding the bodies somewhere.
EA is quickly rising and Activivendiblizzardvision is sinking faster and faster in my opinion book.

Who would have thought the oft-loathed people at EA had a funny bone in their collective body?
winrar.
