Modern Warfare II, PR As Journalism, And Consensual Plagiarism (The Jimquisition)

When journalist Laura Kate Dale got offered a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, she received some extra fun - the chance to consensually plagiarize articles written by the game's marketing team! Huh!   

Let's talk about THAT unethical nonsense, shall we?

Hell yeah, Magic E! The part I remember was: "If you rob, you get a robe with me! Hop, you have hope with me! Magic, magic E!" Educational kids' TV advocating both shoplifting, evading the police, and recreational drugs. What an era to have grown up in!

Not going to lie, thought Magic E was going to be a drug reference.

Wow, not only questionable ethically, but MAN that writing. Pure unpasturized cheeze, 99 44/100% pure cringe. I'd ask Laura K. to post excerpts, or better yet READ some choice bits on the podcast this week, just for the larfs.
