EA Sports.  It’s in the game.  Well apparently not.  Apparently it’s shipped in a box and is used for beating the crap out of people.    For those of you that don’t know, EA Sports is the proud producer of the video game The Godfather.

As part of the promotion for the original video game, EA tossed a bunch of oranges onto the streets of some major cities. For The Godfather II, EA did something different and shipped some reviewers of the game a set of brass knuckles. You may be wondering what exactly brass knuckles have to do with the game. The game gives players upgrades as they take over crime rings that vary from armored cars to bullet proof vests; one of these upgrades is a set of brass knuckles. 

EA quickly realized the error in sending the brass knuckles due to the fact that they are considered illegal weapons in some states.  Problem is, by asking for them back, aren’t consumers breaking the law by sending them?  Mmmmm?  Mmmmm?
