Didnt Even Have To Use My AK

Jul 19, 2001 9:51am CST tags: Industry News: PC & Console
Here's one to ponder this morning. A UK LAN tour has decided that one of the prizes they are giving away for winners in their tournament will be a disabled authentic AK-47. Obviously to symbolize the weapon involved in the combat taking place on the computers. A large number of panties have gotten in a bunch over this. This isnt just any old LAN event either as Virgin Interactive is a major sponsor (although not for the game in particular involved).

"We apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience or concern the offering of the AK47 as a prize may have brought or howsoever caused." He gave his assurance that "if there is a public condemnation of our actions we will withdraw the offer of the prize with immediate effect and substitute it with an appropriate prize of a similar worth".

Very interesting... Thanks Choolz & Blues
