Annoy your friends and others! Quick while supplies last!

Really Disney? What is going on with POTCO! Instead of bringing something good they are promoting fart jokes! Is Kevin Smith behind POTCO? Or Is POTCO being sponsored by the creators of Whoopee Cushion? Maybe those guys bought POTCO!

Oh dang....I'm gonna spend all my time sailing now. There's no WAY I am going near the docks of Tortuga. As if the regular ones aren't bad enough....

Settle yerselves mates. Disney is just trying to get the little ones to laugh. I might just redeem this code to see what its like, and to watch all of the other people's reactions. Lighten up guys, no need for hostility.

Aye, I suppose you're right Mac. But I'm still not fully appreciative of it.

Right. Because there are no other ways to make kids laugh.

You're right Crestshot, I'm not really keen on this idea either, but I'm glad they're taking advantage of the new potion brewing, as well as the new inventory and code redemptions. This proves that at least they're trying. I'm sure this is, yet again, another "just to put something in the news" type of thing.

And The Skirata Clan, why such negativity, mate? Are you really against this that much?

I wrote part of this in another post but it fits here too.

Why is it that we are playing a game that is made by the Walt Disney Company and that is rated 10+ and, yet, we are still surprised when children come and play and act like children? Or that The Disney Company will pander to their target audience?

Sure there are other ways to make children laugh but comedy is hard. Why work hard when you can give them Free Flatulent Fizz? When it gets to be too much, turn the sound down. I play with no sound almost 90% of the time anyway.

That being said, I still think that POTCO has become all icing and no cake. We need some new playable content and soon.

I find this latest email to be a perfect example of Disney targeting POTCO for the younger crowd. I hope sometime soon Disney gives the more mature player something we will find equally as amusing.

Yes I am! They can do much better than fart sounds for fun. Wait until they do another Gm Event and the only sound will be farts left and right. They can take advantage of the new things in a better more creative way. It's insulting that a game with great potential is being degraded to fart jokes. This is not South Park, The Simpsons, or Family Guy. This is POTCO. Not even kid shows like Yo Gabba Gabba! or Spongebob resort to such a cheap comedy to entertain. I have never heard of a respectful game promoting farts.

TSC has basically said it all for me. I agree completely. The fart thing is just ridiculous. If farting is what it takes to make kids laugh, then what has happened to kids today? What happened to teaching kids good manners and etiquette? I guess those days are over... I'm glad that the one company who always encouraged imagination and good wholesome fun must now resort to disrespectful and disgusting methods of entertainment..

Sadly it only lets you redeem one potion (i could whip that up in a minute)

I wish they had given us more useful potion like the invisible ones, the potion that removes grog, or rep potions (maybe people would complain less lol)

And again this free stuff is available for Basic to redeem and possibly to use since it is a level 5 potion however is not redeemable on Test. Just like mother's day tattoo.

on a sidenote, im afraid Father's Day 2XP reward will not show up on test in 2 weeks time either.

Haha look, the picture even says "Guzzle this potion for Hilarious results"

In my point of view, this is a situation when someone wants this while the other wants the complete opposite...

But who wants farts in their games? Who can possibly desire to submit their kids to a game that contains farts. I have yet seen a toy or a game that has farts. Even with the Whoopee Cushion kids get in trouble when using that because it is disrespectful.
