When Will Wright and Electronic Arts released the “Creature Creator” program a little while ago to create hype for the long-awaited upcoming video game Spore, they had to have known some people would be smartasses about it…didn’t they…?
Within 24 hours of the “Creature Creator’s” release, gamers had gone creature-crazy, designing millions of critters that were all thrown into a database and shown on a YouTube channel for the public to see.
But scrolling through the database — past the three-legged sea horse, past the seven-eyed wildebeest and the half-motorcycle-half-pig — revealed something many users didn’t expect. Buried among the more wholesome attempts were two-legged dancing testicles, a “giant breast monster” and a four-legged, “phallic fornication machine,” for starters.
And then there’s this little kernel of wisdom:
“Whether it’s modeling clay, dolls or crayons, a small number of people can be counted on to use it for something vulgar,” Lucy Bradshaw, “Spore’s” executive producer, told CNN.
Truer words were never spoken. And I mean that.
