Free petrol stunt (Mercenaries 2 promotion) causes chaos

Chris Irvine of Telegraph writes: "A petrol station which gave away free fuel has been temporarily shut down after motorists flocking to its pumps caused traffic chaos.

Electronic Arts were giving away £20,000 worth of fuel at the station on Stapleton Hall Road, near Finsbury Park, north London, as part of a promotion for a new video game.

But the stunt angered residents and local politicians for causing gridlock during the morning rush hour."
