National Madden Vacation Day

EA Sports is promoting their soon-to-be released Madden 2005 by declaring a national sickday on August 10, the day the game will hit retail shelves. To help you get out of work or school, EA has posted logoed Jury Duty, Chicken Pox, and Sick Day forms on their site. While I doubt many companies would accept such an excuse, it is a fun marketing idea. So here's to staying home on August 10 and playing "Madden"! If you're new to "Madden," check out the tutorial.
