Free EA software release spawns “sporn”
It’s a double-edged sword, this user-generated content thing
It’s a simple equation that marketers can’t seem to grasp: The Internet plus free modeling tools equals giant dancing penises.
So it goes for Creature Creator, the free trial tool Electronic Arts released on Tuesday to herald the marketing blitz for the September shipment of its long-awaited Spore game. It’s the latest creation from legendary game designer Will Wright. You know, the guy behind the iconic Sims series. Gamers couldn’t wait to get their mitts on the free software which they downloaded by the thousands.
With the Creature Creator, you can make your own creatures, get them to dance around, and of course, upload them to YouTube.
You can also make Spore porn, or sporn - fantastical creations of a less imaginary, more anatomical nature.
It’s a double-edged sword, this user-generated content. On the one hand, it’s laudable to create a community around a game… On the other hand, not everyone’s well-behaved on the Internet. And if EA didn’t know that, they found that out right quick with the Creature Creator.
“Well, I guess we know what every half-wit will be posting pictures of from now on,” lamented one commenter on game site Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
Yes. Half-wits like us!

And of course - you knew somebody would do it - the Goatse creature.
You people are twisted!
