Dante’s Inferno Burns Facebook
EA launches ‘Go To Hell’ Facebook app.
Oh dear lord. As if getting poked and being sent outrageous ‘gifts’ wasn’t enough, now you can be damned to one of the nine circle of hell! EA in it’s atrociousness has released a Facebook app called ‘Go To Hell’, inspired by the upcoming game Dante’s Inferno, were users can relieve their anger by sending a friend, foe, place, product or brand to any of the nine circles of hell – with just a single click of the button. While we would appreciate this in real life, because there would be no repercussions for doing it (you know…people would be dead) but this…this is just slamming your foot on the axe.
The ‘Go to Hell’ app calls on people to damn others to the nine circles of hell: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud or Treachery. From there, users can choose to punish or absolve their victim… and see how the community reacts. The ‘Go to Hell’ app comes complete with a ‘Hell Browser’ that serves up a snapshot of all the activity in hell on a day-to-day basis. In the browser, see who takes top spot as the most deplored evil demon – be they a loudmouthed celebrity, a slimy politician or a hated TV character.
“This app is awesome! Not only will it be a blast to see who the world sends to hell, but it’s also a great opportunity to take Dante’s notion of the 9 circles of hell and make it current and relevant for people who may not be familiar with the poem,” said executive producer Jonathan Knight. “Let the damning begin.”
