Motorists queued round the block to get free petrol as part of a publicity stunt to promote Electronic Arts' latest game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames.

Liberal Democrat MP for Hornsey and Wood Green, Lynne Featherstone, said: "Trying to recreate Venezuelan-style fuel riots on the streets of London is completely irresponsible and downright dangerous.

"Whilst a lucky few might have got some free petrol, hundreds of local residents have faced misery on their daily journeys this morning. They deserve an apology for being the victims of such an ill-thought out media stunt."

Way to over exaggerate.

Silly Liberal Democrats.

how many people in the UK have ever experienced a Venezuelan style fuel riot...lol?

Free fuel would have caused a commotion no matter what they were wearing...

More than 600 drivers turned up to take advantage of the free fuel offer. EA had £20,000 worth of petrol and diesel to give away to launch the game

Would say they got the attention they sought, the few complainers where surely not in their targeting group anyways

London's problem, not EA's.

Besides, wouldn't that be normal traffic, because London is so congested constantly.

Yeah, I was gonna say....
They had people lined up to the point where they were blocking the streets...
I am in another country and I heard about it...

They aren't trying to help traffic, they are trying to draw a shit ton of attention.
They did beautifully...

The Venezuelan riots is in reference to the game i think, as it is set in Venezuela.
