'Sims' credit card will buy everything but a life

The official Sims 2 site is featuring a page of four different Visa credit card designs inspired by the game, encouraging fans to vote for their favorites. The site gives no info other than the cryptic announcement that the card will be "coming soon." While many Sims players seem to think it's a late April Fool's joke, so far it appears to be real. That means you'll be able to spend real dollars with a card promoting a product that turned consumerism into a game. Anyone else's brain exploding right about now?

I think there is a big market for game-themed cards. This seems like a great income resource for publishers and developers.
Personally I will pass on the Sims one however.

Why would it be a joke? Everyone wants their logo feces on your credit card. Why should EA be any different?

Looks real enough to me, issued by Bank of America (formerly MBNA, the name on the card is the giveaway).

I am now scared of the Sims.
But I chose the card featured on the post.
And I hope they make a Spore Visa (but I won't get it either.)
