Uwe Boll’s been a target to quite a few folks lately, and now it looks like someone else is joining the party . Stride Gum announced this morning that they are launching a special campaign to support the efforts of StopUweBoll.org, in what has to be one of the most commercial efforts to date to shut down the director’s work on video game films.
How do you help the campaign, you ask? Simply head on over to the site and vote. If the petition reaches one million votes by May 14 at 5pm EST, each signer will get a digital coupon for a pack of gum the following week.
“Since gamers are one of our most supportive groups, we’ve been looking for ways to return the favor,” said Gary Osifchin, Stride North American Marketing Director. “And what better way is there to get gamers’ backs than by helping them rescue their cherished videogames from the clutches of Uwe Boll?”
“Look, it’s nothing personal against the guy. Maybe his non videogame-based films are unbelievable! But we’ve seen such intense passion for this cause that we couldn’t help but get involved,” said Osifchin. “Let the signing continue.”
