Cute, but definitely not real. Here is the actual statement they released:

You're right. Their PR department would never let such a brutally honest response be published.

But surprisingly enough, they issued a statement very similar to the original post the last time they won the title.

"We're sure that British Petroleum, AIG, Philip Morris, and Halliburton are all relieved they weren't nominated this year. We're going to continue making award-winning games and services played by more than 300 million people worldwide."

I knew about this reply but I couldn't really disprove the original post. I'm glad I'm not the only who thinks the post is fake, especially since I couldn't find mention of the fake post anywhere else on the internet.

Why make a fake statement when the real one touches on the same points more eloquently?

I'm not sure if this letter is real, but as much as I dislike EA, I do have to agree with what the letter says.

While you can definitely say calling EA the worst company on earth is a tempest in a teapot, they are still assholes, and they suck. That is all.

How did FedEx win their first round? They're one of my favorite companies -- at least, Express; FedEx Ground is Roadway is pretty bad. UPS isn't horrible, either.

I agree. I work with Fedex a lot and have never had any issues with them. Their customer service is decent, they deliver stuff pretty well, and their tracking is also excellent.

That being said, Fedex Freight leaves something to be desired. But even they are pretty good.

I think it's the nature of their business; if everything goes well, you're moderately pleased. If anything goes wrong, you are furious. Combine that with various difficult problems (efficient routing, relying on external parties, etc), and you have a difficult job.
