Joyrex Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I was catching up on my videogame news, and this headline caught my eye: "EA Sports MMA Not Releasing in Denmark" And, from the article: EA Sports new mixed martial arts game, EA Sports MMA, will not be released in the country of Denmark. It's not because they are against the sport of MMA, as some people are, but instead because Scandinavian law does not allow for energy drinks to be advertised. And, being an authentic MMA game, EA Sports MMA of course includes energy drink ads.Rather than take what would appear to be the obvious path and remove the ads, EA has stated (via CVG) that it will simply not release the game in the region. "We are adhering to laws in Denmark that restrict the use of energy drink product placement in-game, and therefore are not shipping EA Sports MMA in that region," the statement read. "Our game authentically recreates the sport of MMA in every facet, including energy drink in-game sponsorships on fighter shorts, gear, and in fight venues." Is there any reason energy drinks are not allowed to be advertised in Denmark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YEK Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 i was listening to the news yesterday and they spoke of a new energy drink that not only gave you energy but it also increased blood circulation you've heard it here first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 This gets philosophical. Not many things in this world are 100% "good" and "bad" for you. If it's not PCP, hydrofluoric acid or a .45 Magnum with no safety, it's all a question of dosage. 1 cup of coffee every morning or 1 or 2 energy drinks a week--no documented toxic effect. Fucking pint after pint of coffee and espresso and teenagers having 4-5 Red Bulls a day--documented toxic effects: tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), ventricular fibrillation ("heart flutters"), agitation, anxiety, neuropathies (I always got uncomfortably "itchy" when I abused caffeine in pill form) and definite withdrawal symptoms when you don't have it: headache, nausea, agitation. interesting. i wonder how long it takes for companies to realize if these energy drinks are bad or how bad for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti-energy drink is not scandinavian law btw, we have energy drink ads on TV in sweden, mostly Red Bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 We all have a hole in our hearts as fetuses called the foramen ovale that permits the flow of oygenated blood without lungs to breathe and it's supposed to close immediately after birth when we take our first breaths. Sometimes it fucks up--called "patent foramen ovale" and maybe that dude that you heard about would have never known that he had that defect until he did his own goddamn "liquid stress test" was the last straw. "Hole in the heart" is a popular diagnosis because it makes so much sense under the "automobile model" of the body--your pump is busted but that almost never happens unless the heart is traumatically torn or you have that birth defect. Otherwise, all chest pain/heart attacks/death is a result of muscle death but no "holes" develop. i was born with tetrology of fallot and had to get open heart surgery when i was two. i suppose my case falls into the "almost never happens" category..? at any rate, i drink the hell out of some energy drinks now. i think having a third kidney maybe helps with all the chemical processing.

Now that I think about it, wasn't there some controversy in Sweden over Red Bull supposedly causing a hole in some guy's heart? I'm not sure about that one in particular but a few years back, a guy in LA presented in the ER with chest pain and he reported, idk 5+ Red Bulls that day and I think he might have had a heart attack. Or not. I think he was well-known somehow--like a producer or director who was just downing the shit out of RB. There is a case of one woman who drank I believe it was 12 Red Bulls within 1 hour. She believed it would help her to concentrate for some sort of athletic event she was about to take part in. Turns out she had a heart attack before she got to the event, and although not proven, it was "decided", that the red bull had indeed caused the heart attack which killed her. There have been other cases of heart attacks, particularly in young people (I'm talking 18-21) and in all cases they have consumed large amounts of red bull immediatley prior to the heart attack. I'm sure it's easily googled to find such caes. cases* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
