Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Some things just aren't really worth of the weekday spotlight, but are slightly interesting enough to warrant some weekend love. EA's Sims 3 good luck wishes to Susan Boyle, the Britain's Got Talent lady who warmed everyone's hearts, just barely make it into that category too. I'm not sure why EA decided to do this or what effect they are hoping it will have, but the video really does nothing. I suppose it is interesting to watch one major pop culture phenomenon get sucked into another major pop culture phenomenon.

Dum, dee, doo. Huh? Oh, you're still here. Well, uhhh, look! It's the President! He's black! How's that for hard hitting journalisms?

Ohhhh I don't know.... maybe the crazy media blitz over Boyle's attire choice of the day, what she likes to put in her sandwich, or how she likes to take her shits???

Well, I know who I'm locking in a small room with no air. On The Sims, of course. Totally.

The woman only has an above avarage singing voice, but people praise her to the skies because she's ugly. After all, UGLY PEOPLE CAN'T POSSIBLY SING, RITE!? They treat her like a retard who just learned to do a trick.

People disgusts me!

@DunKology
I forgive you. But only you.

If you're quickly scanning past that image, it looks like she's grabbing her boob.

Pretty smart for targeting their audience. So you can really be whoever you want and have your dreams come true in this game eh? I'm probably better at singing Simlish than any language at all, so I better pick this up!

Strange, but I think it's really just meant as a topical way of saying "You can make Sims with a celebrity status."

That was really, I don't know what to make of this. Was this a commerical for British people?

Yea, typo intended there, though the worthy one was not.
