Ultimate Fighter Melts Down on Geeks After Videogame Prank A video

EA Sports recently created a Mixed Martial Arts videogame which used the notorious fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller. The prank was that during the player selection screen, they gave Mayhem lower fighting statistics than an injured kitten, and then invited him to come watch the demo at EA headquarters. Which is weird, because you'd think computer programmers could see the flaw in that plan.
Would you really want to take this guy on with your paltry code?
Luckily for them, Jason "Mayhem" Miller has a sense of humor. Unfortunately for them, it's based on the same "I'm about to murder people" skillset as the rest of his career. He started tearing around the room, demanding to know exactly who was in charge of the player stats, terrifying the roomful of geeks -- but especially Head Developer Rob Hydar, who was apparently the target of the counter-prank, as Mayhem threatened him with bodily harm.
Video Highlights:
0:25 - Two members of the development team clearly running to the other side of the room before the fighter stats screen appears
1:11 - Jason Barnes coming closer to death than any creative director in history, when he grabs Mayhem from behind
1:20 - Mayhem gives a room of nerdy men more relief in five words than a bordello owner saying "Tonight it's on the house!", when mid-rage-flow he cuts across with "I'm just f***in with ya!"
Then "Mayhem" went home to his oversized house, screwed his undersized wife, ate an oversized bowl of undercooked meat, took an overdue nap, woke up and took an oversized dump in his undersized toilet. So goes the life of a professional fighter.
How many of those geeks wished they had worn depends to work that day? My guess is every one of them that wasn't in on the prank.
They should bring an Iraq war veteran into Congress right after they tell America that they support the troops but are voting to cut off PTSD funding. THAT would be side-splitting.
