Screens from the Dante's Inferno Super Bowl commercial photo

Stupid post is stupid. 

Three images from the Super Bowl commercial that Electronic Arts will be airing to promote Dante's Inferno. The one where they can't say "Go to Hell." Yeah, that's right. We're posting screenshots of advertising and somehow trying to pass it off as news. What are you even going to do about it? Nothing, that's what. 

So yeah, enjoy these pictures. Up next, I'll be copying and pasting more press releases for you and somehow trying to pass it off as a paid job. My life is hilarious.

Would "Go to Heaven." be acceptable? Cause if you think about it in the context of the game, "Go to Heaven" would be an insult, since all the good stuff happening is in Hell. Can you imagine Dante battling in Heaven to get his lover back from God's holy clutches?

So I guess they dropped 'F**k off' too then?

Whatever, EA. Whatever.

If you realize its so stupid and bland, why post it? I say this, realizing every comment I ever post is stupid.

I would post something like this.

Dante's Inferno has yet another stupid advertising idea. This time a super bowl commercial! EA still hasn't run out of money! I know, I'm shocked too! But for some stupid reason they sent screenshots of their advertisement to us, and I have to show them to you. Because I have to report on serious news.

From now on, I'm re-writing all your posts in my own words. That's the new game.

They are dumping serious money into this game and I think a lot of people will lose their shirts because of it.

From that second pic i guess they also prevented the possibility of wardrobe malfunction (or lack of it).

Is that the real ad? Pretty funny that they used that song to contrast the imagery.

They should find a way to sneak the Megadeth song "Go To Hell" into the ad music. Just for the hell of it.

They should just say it. We do have freedom of speech in this country.

Please don't start that.

What they should do is go old school and put in some subliminal messages via backmasking.

Sometimes Sterling switches up his usual sarcasm and surprises me with blunt honesty. I actually laughed out loud. Good show!
