EA Rewrites Ten Commandments

Using information from research conducted in its game, The Sims 3, EA has rewritten the ten commandments and will present the two newly-carved limestone tablets to the Houses of Parliament this week.

According to EA, over one quarter of British children can not remember even one of the ultimate moral standards, the ten commandments, and only six percent of people in the UK can recite all ten from memory.

You shall not be a terrorist?

Lol?

[Leord]

Absolutely unbelievable. Why would you even have that? If you don't kill/hurt others, you CAN'T be a terrorist!

[Malfurion]

Yeah that is kind of a double hitter. Maybe they just needed a filler :P

[Dorjan]

I just think it's people not thinking for themselves and just putting what they think they should put rather than what is actually a good rule.

If that makes any sense...

[hay]

If you will live according to number 7 there's no need of other 9.
But since we're at gaming site I would add to it "their opinion and what console they possess"

[kerriganss]

WIN WIN WIN!

[sh8kes]

haha wow

[Leord]

Sounds good. About time we got an update to the 2-3000 year old ones. No one can remember them anyway!

[moondragon]

8. Do not commit acts of terrorism

hehe way to go EA, glad you told us that

[Maticus]

Wow, is there no end to what people will do for publicity?!

[Medievaldragon]

What motivated them to do this drastic change?

[Malfurion]

Well, the game's coming out tomorrow...

[Leord]

I can just see crazy fanatic US ppl go nutcake over this :D

[Cogo]

You GOT to be kidding me...

[Malfurion]

The 4 they removed are pretty obsolete actually. Everyone says 'Oh God' without even thinking anything of it now lol.

[Maticus]

This sort of thing doesn't really rile us Brits though, I'm interested what US readers will say.

[Medievaldragon]

I see, so the drastic change was to drive more sales.

[KingEamon]

Thous shalt not be a terrorist.

[Bladestar]

I think Jesus already compiled all commandments into just two:

* YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.

* YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.

That actually includes every possible scenario.

I think EA was 2,000+ years late on this one.

[SlaughterMeister]

"7. Respect all people regardless of race, religion or sexuality
8. Do not commit acts of terrorism
9. Respect and protect the planet
10. Do not be motivated by greed"

These are already covered in the Bible, if people would just read the thing.

[c0de]

this is pretty troll. . .

[c0de]

i like how #10 is coming from EA, considering securom and such. . .

This story is a straight copy and paste from the EA press site. I am sorry Inc gamers but lick and stick doesn't cut it in my book.

You referenced Alt4 but not EA....you probably should have seeing as they wrote it for you.
