Press Release

The Makers of Stride, The Ridiculously Long Lasting Gum(R), Offer A Total
of One Million Packs of Gum to Signers of the Anti-Uwe Boll Petition*

In an effort to protect the childhood dreams of millions of video gamers everywhere, the makers of Stride gum announced today that they are launching a special campaign supporting the efforts of StopUweBoll.org in their attempt to convince famed film director Uwe Boll to stop making video game-based films.

For years, Boll has piqued the ire of the gaming community by adapting
many of their favorite games into universally panned films
(http://www.rottentomatoes.com/celebrity/uwe_boll/). On April 4, 2008, Boll remarked to legendary horror site FearNet that he'd consider acquiescing to his critics and abandoning making films in this genre if an online petition reached one million signatures. As of press time, the petition is just about 234,000 names, which is why Stride has decided to jump in.

"Since gamers are one of our most supportive groups, we've been looking
for ways to return the favor," said Gary Osifchin, Stride North American
Marketing Director. "And what better way is there to get gamers' backs than by helping them rescue their cherished videogames from the clutches of Uwe Boll?"

In an effort to help boost signings, the makers of Stride have put out
a special bounty. If the petition reaches the required 1 million signatures by May 14 at 5pm EDT, each signer will receive a digital coupon* for a pack of gum, downloadable on May 23, 2008, a day that could really use some long-lasting refreshment, particularly as it will see the debut of his latest videogame-based film.

"Look, it's nothing personal against the guy. Maybe his non
videogame-based films are unbelievable! But we've seen such intense passion for this cause that we couldn't help but get involved," said Osifchin. "Let the signing continue."

* Stride will provide a downloadable coupon (good for one pack of gum) to each petition signer that will be downloadable on May 23, 2008, if the target of one million signatures is reached between May 7 and 14, 2008.

Takes about 1 min to do and you get free gum out of the deal if it reaches 1 million.

Search some of his personal youtube videos, guy is a tool.

Signed. I always like going through and reading some of the comments people leave.

Here's some goodies.


"Dear Uwe. Die."


"Germany gives birth to a new monster, Uwe Boll's films are so bad they make the Holocaust seem trivial by comparison, and has the potential to cause more harm. This man is a black hole on the world's economy and every person's career who works with him. There is a good chance that watching any of his films may render you sterile or give you cancer, the kicker being that the disease that you are 90% certain to get won't even have the decency to kill you before the end of the movie."

"In Soviet Russia, movies rape Uwe Boll!"

" I'm willing to invest $2 to send you to a university or an arts college... I know you can't buy talent, but hopefully that will buy us time..."

"How about 2 million signatures and you kill yourself?"

"Dude, i'm with them."
