As if Farmville wasn't bad enough

On the massive social media site called Facebook there are these things called apps. Some are quizzes others are games Some of them are good some bad but we are going to talk about a more specific one called Farmville.

Farmville is designed by Zynga who also creates Mafia Wars, Petville, and Cafeworld. All of these games are point and click games that are directly infected by the time of the players position on the earth. In Farmville your job is that of a farmer, you plant, you tender, you pluck all in real shortened time increments meaning if you don't harvest in time those strawberries are gone. It has animals too but this weeks Kotaku article I found is about a plant, a plant called "The Watermelon Baby."

In the Chinese version of Farmville only is there this demon baby fruit. In the game you plant a watermelon, simple right? You water it and hoe the surrounding weeds till it grows nice and big, still simple. But when it is time for it to be harvested a pink baby creature sticks its head out to say hello.

This thing is creepy looking, not only that, if you do not harvest it in time it dies. So your farm will have a dead watermelon baby lying in the field.

Now I don't know about you but I do not know if I could ever come up with something as disturbing as this. Maybe it is trying to tell people something. Any ideas?
