Billkwando

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Hm...I wonder why I was always drawn to Stride, when confronted with hundreds of types of chewing gum. Subconsciously I must have known...this is a cool fucking company.

ThisCharmingMan

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Oh damn, such a wasted oppurtunity. Totally should have read:
"Since gamers are one of our most supportive groups, we have been looking for ways to return the flavor,"

There just aren't enough bad puns in the world.

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Sorry, but I'm not going to sign the petition until I actually see one of his "ill-reputed" movies myself, even if it does mean I won't get a free pack of gum. :(

This morning when I went to put gas in my tank, I went in the store and bought 3 packs of Stride gum instead of buying 5ive gum!!!!
Stride FTW!!!

God Bless You Stride Gum.

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> We should all sign!

Because I have bad breath.

Kanik

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Cute marketing tactic. I already signed a few weeks ago, so here's hoping we get the inevitable 1 million signatures soon. I don't really like Stride, though, but then again it's free.

SolCross

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I think smallville knows no shame by taking product placement to an all new level and totally losing any credibility the show had left. I mean it was always pretty cheesy but it was superman so I watched it from time to time.

Anyways I'm not going to sign just for a pack of gum and I don't really care if Uwe boll keeps making movies... I don't really put the blame solely on him. Video games make really stupid movies and for some reason it's the directors fault when it turns out sucking... not the realistic fact that not drawn out between gameplay the video game story itself is laughable.

Billkwando

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I say let him challenge Stride Gum to a boxing match.

Even his professional boxing training will not prepare him for the ridiculously long-lasting endurance of Stride Gum.

By round 30, he'll be so tired from punching Stride Gum that he'll collapse, thus making Stride Gum the victor by default.

Then we can all celebrate the victory of Stride Gum by enjoying Stride Gum if we aren't already enjoying Stride Gum.

Stride Gum, please send me money.

STRIDE GUM!

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> "Are we really so pissy and b*tchy that we CANT just ignore this guy?"

oops sorry, fixed.

warpped655

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> That site is utterly retarded...

I can understand not liking his movies. hell, I watched "Alone in the dark" and "In the name of the king" and I could agree with everyone that they were basically abominations to film. But seriously... this petition crap is totally idiotic on multiple levels. This shit makes me almost disgusted with the general populace of nerds, gamers, and other internet goers. Makes me almost ashamed to be one myself. Are we really so pissy and b*tchy that we just ignore this guy? do we have no discipline or control at all? Do we have to throw a god damned hissy fit over this stuff?

seriously... WTF...

This make me wish I had to power to smack/backhand people in the face over the internet.

YUYU

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I appreciate that they want to promote themselves but it's a pack of gum. How cheap can you be?

I'd rather someone cloned Uwe than sign that petition let alone for a pack of gum.

chiefpoopingpants

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I'm having a hard time deciding if I should sign it... I mean, everytime a watch a Boll movie I'm having the time of my life watching it because I'm laughing so much.

We even rented "House of the dead" twice! Yes it was THAT funny.

His movies are just like Plan 9 from outer space with a tad more budget.

Malaky

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I signed. and made 20 of my friends help! let see if we can get rid of this guy a bring a better director to handle those movies!

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I hope Stride Gum makes a commercial about this.

The world needs to know about Uwe Boll.If we band together,we can stop him.

Megatenist

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Hey if Uwe Boll doesn't quit after the first petition they can't do another petition because Stride Gum lasts too long. Brought to you by Stride.

AndrewG009

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Thinking further, if all I had was lousy game-based movies and a horrible reputation, the easiest way to capitalize on the latter would be to cook up a deal with some company interested in gamers.

Something along the lines of "well, you *cough* like *cough* gamers and I'm definitely (no coughs whatsoever) hated by them so how about I let you use myself as marketing material and we split the ensuing profits 50/50?"

Wouldn't that be a neat win/win situation for both while the Mighty Power of Teh Interwebz covers both marketing and funding? Now that I think of it, such an idea is evil, scary, and far-fetched but still, it could very well work wonders!

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I signed it. Now only 800k left in one week. So who's posting it on Facebook, MySpace, Digg, IGN forums, that other forum no one can say, Wikipedia, and YouTube?...

Might as well take out a Google ad while we're at it...

JGab

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> LMAO Holy Shit that is the greatest thing I have ever seen. I get to sign a petition and get a free pack of my favorite gum. About time companies joined the fight against Uwe Bowl. Now if they could only do it against good old Jack.

JustJake

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> @EldonTLH: agree 100%. My wife loves to go see his campy movies because they are fun to watch, laugh at and make fun of. Not all movies need to be 100% serious all the freaking time. In the name of the King was so freaking terrible it was hilarious. It helped that we had margaritas in the theaters, but hey, whats fun without margaritas!

chrisgriner

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I go through two packs of the stuff a week. I may one day approach nicotine dependency-levels. Therefore, as a heavy consumer of Stride gum, I applaud the company for the greatest marketing scheme ever in all of history times a million.

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> @SixDemonBag: Someone had to do it.

KirbySS

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Wow, ok guys this is really unfair. Now the gum company is trying to bring the cinema genius down, what has the world come to.

Please everyone we need to rally together to support Uwe Boll.

Here is the counter petition it must be signed! For each signature on the Pro-Uwe Boll petition we get, we negate one vote on the petition asking him to step down! Fight the injustice! We need more genius in our movies, and no one is better for that than Uwe Boll!!

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I wonder would last longer. Uwe Boll's career or a single piece of Stride gum?

Mr.SithNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> @dirkxxdiggler: Well put. As was reported earlier by Kotaku itself, Boll won't step down even after a million signatures but apparently people loathe (love) him enough to keep him in the spotlight and companies are quick to follow.

A year ago, I wouldn't have even recognized his name and I still haven't seen any of his movies but all this ruckus about him is kinda getting interesting.

If he's bad as in genuinely bad then just ignore him to death but if he's bad as in tremendous camp value then at least give him credit for that; this world needs its Plan 9 from Outer Space fun, after all.

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> I hope Uwe Boll keeps making terrible movies. So fun to watch his movies and make fun of them, huge source of entertainment. Hell bagging on him in this post is alot of entertainment. Who else is everyone going to completely hate on?

When he cam out at PAX and the crowd was treating him like shit, I felt bad for the duder honestly. He handled it very well though. That postal shit looked funny in that 80's campy movie type way, he should stick to slap stick imo.

MURDERFACE

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> Knowing Uwe Boll, a million won't be enough. He really doesn't seem to care what people think, and won't making movies stop until people stop giving him money. Clearly the petition is aimed at the wrong people, we need to give it to the studios.

Well, despite the fact that this may never work, I wouldn't mind getting minty fresh breath along with the satisfaction I pulled Uwe Boll off making movies.

Great marketing. I prefer Wrigley's 5 gum, but this one marketing ploy is enough to buy a pack or two of Stride.

]]> <![CDATA[Uwe Boll Vs. Stride Gum]]> As a crazy Smallville fan, I can surely attest that Stride's infiltration of Smallville was ridiculous, shameless, and somehow awesome.
