EA Ships Illegal Brass Knuckles To Press
As part of a promotional attempt for Godfather II, Electronic Arts shipped brass knuckles to a number of game writers. A spokesperson for EA told Kotaku that EA wanted to make sure all the brass knuckles are returned because possession, and even shipping, can lead to a class 1 misdemeanor in some states.
EA did not respond to questions concerning their liability in shipping the brass knuckles, and whether the company will be charged by authorities. Imprisonment can be up to 1 year in a county jail. Although, I don’t think anyone at EA will be spending anytime in the slammer. There is no one person in particular to blame for the mistake.
