Electronic Arts wasn&#8217;t very savvy this past week with their Dante&#8217;s Inferno &#8220;Sin to Win&#8221; ad. For my reader(s) who aren&#8217;t familiar with this ad, here&#8217;s some background from Adland and Ars Technica.

</p><p><span class="drop_cap">E</span>lectronic Arts wasn&#8217;t very savvy this past week with their Dante&#8217;s Inferno &#8220;Sin to Win&#8221; ad. For my reader(s) who aren&#8217;t familiar with this ad, here&#8217;s some background from <a href="http://adland.tv/content/booth-babe-backlash-ea-apologizes-dumb-idea-sin-win-promo" target="_blank">Adland</a> and <a href="http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/07/ea-puts-sexual-bounty-on-the-heads-of-its-own-booth-babes.ars" target="_blank">Ars Technica</a>.</p>
<p>Basically, EA released an ad/contest for their upcoming Dante&#8217;s Inferno video game that read like it encouraged mobs of geeks to sexually plunder booth babes at Comic-Con and then take pictures. The person with the best picture then won a &#8220;sinful&#8221; night out with two booth babes and a &#8220;chest full of booty.&#8221; I&#8217;m not sure how it&#8217;s possible for a girl to get her booty all the way up to her chest, but with enough Pilates maybe anything is possible.</p>
<p>After enough backlash, EA released an apology stating that the ad was poorly worded. But if this &#8220;Sin to Win&#8221; ad was the one EA settled on, how bad were the other ad pitches?  Here are five ideas.<span id="more-408"></span></p>
<h3>The Blatantly Sexual</h3>

<h3>The Incorrect Movie Tie-In</h3>

<h3>The Free Branded Product</h3>
