Boot Boll for Gum

Uwe Boll is a colourful character to say the least, he's been in the news for all the wrong reasons recently; challenging Michael Bay to a boxing match, climing to be the only "Genius" in the Movie industry, threatening to sue Bill Zane for cutting the opening scene of BloodRayne and plenty more. It seems you cant get away from this guy, which is a shame really as his Movies are at best regarded as competent and worst regarded as Utter Crap.

You may also heard that an internet petition has appeared, the aim being to remove Uwe from his directors chair. Upon being asked about the petition Uwe stated that he would quit making films if the petition gained 1 Million signatures by May 23rd (which coincidently is the release date of his new movie "Postal".

What you may not know is that a sweet company "Stride Gum" is offering a free stick of gum to everyone who signs the petition, if the 1 million signature mark is achieved.

"Since gamers are one of our most supportive groups, we've been looking for ways to return the favor," said Stride marketing director Gary Osifchin. "And what better way is there to get gamer's backs than by helping them rescue their cherished videogames from the clutches of Uwe Boll?"

Sounds pretty good to me, get rid of Uwe Boll and his awful films and get a free stick of gum as well. The current number of signatures is just over 250,000, if you want to add your name to the petition hit this link.
