Stride Gum Has Gamers Back!

Posted by Casey Andrews on May 8, 2008

  Now this is news of the bizarre…. the unimaginable…. the unthinkable. From 1up.

  Stride North American marketing director Gary Osifchin explains:

“Since gamers are one of our most supportive groups, we’ve been looking for ways to return the favor. And what better way is there to get gamers’ backs than by helping them rescue their cherished videogames from the clutches of Uwe Boll?”

  Yes, you read correctly: the marketing director for Stride Gum are joining gamer opposition to destroy German film director Uwe Boll once and for all. And how do they plan on aiding this cause?

  Anybody who signs up to oppose the director at StopUweBoll.org will receive a free pack of the “ridiculously long lasting” gum!

  This all comes as a response to when Boll famously announced a few weeks ago that he would agree to stop making crappy movies based on game licenses if at least 1 million people could be persuaded to sign a petition against him. Whether this started as a joke or not, lots of people have signed up in the ensuing weeks, putting the petition’s total signatures currently at around 250,000.

  Ofcourse, reguardless of wether you want a free pack of Stride Gum I suggest you help protest against Uwe Boll ever making another game based film by signing the petition @ StopUweBoll.org
