Spidey Says Don't Be A Bully!
I find it highly amusing that I have no intention of playing this game, but I keep finding interesting things to write about it. After posting my impressions of the demo, and then a commercial featuring cute boys, I now discover that Spider-Man: Friend Or Foe is doing good for society! Go figure, right?
Activision has announced that in coordination with the launch of the younger-skewing Spidey title, they're teaming up with Bullying UK in a national competition for kids seven and up where they can win copies of the game. The grand prize winner also gets an Xbox 360 to play it on! And all you have to do is answer a wicked easy trivia question! The campaign will run from the launch through until the end of Anti-Bullying Week, November 23. (Or 23 November, as they say it over there with their sexy accents!)
“Bullying UK is proud to be working alongside Activision, a world-renowned entertainment publisher, to highlight Spider-Man: Friend or Foe and our campaign,” commented John Carnell of Bullying UK. “Partnerships like this allow us to reach out to more young people and draw them into a world where bullying is unacceptable and with an iconic character like Spider-Man the message couldn’t be clearer.”
What a clever way to promote the game and the fact that bullies suck! Granted, the whole game is pretty much pounding on anything that moves, but whatever gets the point across, right? I mean, can't we all just get along?

I find it amusing that in the comic strip, 'Sally' is telling Peter to leave her alone for the 'umpteenth' time.
Doesn't this imply that Peter is a creepy guy who doesn't take no for an answer? Is he stalking this girl?
