IF and WHEN EA buys Take-Two, the makers of such classics as GTA and the rest of the GTA series will be well taken care of. In an SEC filing, Take-Two executives who are flopped out on their flabby white butts will get 1.5 times their salary and bonus for up to 18 months if they are fired without cause. Now it’s up to EA to get all Michael Clayton on Chairman Strauss Zelnick and CEO Ben Feder and fire them with cause. Presumably the grunts pushing polygons will receive the same deal.

Note to EA: These are not guys you kill. These are guys you pay off.
