[1]Kotaku reports:
Electronic Arts today contacted game writers around the country
asking them to return the brass knuckles they were sent as part of
a promotion for Godfather II....
Brass knuckles or metallic knuckles are illegal in many of the
states that they were shipped to. They're also illegal in
California, where EA is based....
UPDATE: After a little research we found that according to
California Penal Code even shipping brass knuckles [back to the
sender -EV] may be illegal.
Uh oh. Thanks to Eric Horbey for the pointer.
