A woman doing aeroplane impressions. Of course, people getting free copies of Bioshock Infinite would be quite a feat in itself, given the thing won’t be released until 2012.

[Update 1] It seems numerous games are having the same spammy treatment – we’re informed that poor old Batman is having similar problems with spam such as this:

“This is amazing! Get a FREE copy of the new Batman: Arkham City. Get one here”
“I love batman, I play the video game look at this”

As before, the URLs lead to linkdumps, spam offers and other assorted junk. Thanks to Pete for the heads up.
