Suicidal Office Worker Stars in Adult Swim iPhone App
Suicidal Office Worker Stars in Adult Swim iPhone App
October 23, 2009
A new Adult Swim-branded iPhone/iPod Touch app from Turner Broadcasting System and the Cartoon Network has office desk jockeys attempting to off themselves in the fastest way possible utilizing a variety of bloody and violent (and amusing) means.
TouchArcade describes some of the action from 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself):
You can staple your forehead, drink toilet water, pee on computers, and countless other things. The amount of objects that you can interact with and the objects that can be combined with others for even more lethal damage is pretty amazing.
5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) is on sale for $2.99 in the iTunes store, though purchasers must be at least 17 years of age to grab the game. A free Flash version of the game is also available on the Adult Swim website.
TouchArcade also has a video embedded on its page featuring gameplay from the touch-enabled title.
I wonder how the Classification Board of Australia would rate this one.

JDKJ: O.K. Suit yourself. But when you're wearing Ray-Bans, sitting on a curb with a white cane and a cup of pencils, and doing Stevie Wonder impersonations, don't say I didn't warn you.

"I wonder how the Classification Board of Australia would rate this one."
Are you kidding? I'm wondering what employee, business, union or other organization is going to jump in and scream foul. Or the Suicide Hotline (where suicide bombers are recruited (sorry, Jeff Dunham joke)). Or any number of other organizations who clearly couldn't tell the difference between fiction and reality.

The flash versions been out for at least a year now on the website. It's a good way to kill (fnar fnar) 5 minutes.

I LIKE the fence. I get 2 groups to laugh at then.
I'm sure Atkinson will be more than happy to tell all the adults with Iphones that he won't allow it.
i remember playing that game a couple years ago (i think its been that long). it's amusing, descent for a way to waste time, but i was bored of it after a few plays.

Simple, they'd just take the easy way out and refuse to classify it.
