A new Adult Swim-branded iPhone/iPod Touch app from Turner Broadcasting System and the Cartoon Network has office desk jockeys attempting to off themselves in the fastest way possible utilizing a variety of bloody and violent (and amusing) means.
TouchArcade describes some of the action from 5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself):
You can staple your forehead, drink toilet water, pee on computers, and countless other things. The amount of objects that you can interact with and the objects that can be combined with others for even more lethal damage is pretty amazing.
5 Minutes to Kill (Yourself) is on sale for $2.99 in the iTunes store, though purchasers must be at least 17 years of age to grab the game. A free Flash version of the game is also available on the Adult Swim website.
TouchArcade also has a video embedded on its page featuring gameplay from the touch-enabled title.
I wonder how the Classification Board of Australia would rate this one.

Andrew Eisen: Well, I was right. Both Sony and Microsoft's consoles will be out by the year's end and both will be significantly more powerful than the current gen.05/21/2013 - 5:06pm

E. Zachary Knight: But what if I want to only watch over the air tv? I don't subscribe to pay tv. I never will. If that is a requirement, then MS wasted 45 minutes telling me how great TV will be.05/21/2013 - 2:08pm

Simple, they'd just take the easy way out and refuse to classify it.
Re: Suicidal Office Worker Stars in Adult Swim iPhone App
i remember playing that game a couple years ago (i think its been that long). it's amusing, descent for a way to waste time, but i was bored of it after a few plays.

I'm sure Atkinson will be more than happy to tell all the adults with Iphones that he won't allow it.
Re: Suicidal Office Worker Stars in Adult Swim iPhone App
The flash versions been out for at least a year now on the website. It's a good way to kill (fnar fnar) 5 minutes.

Are you kidding? I'm wondering what employee, business, union or other organization is going to jump in and scream foul. Or the Suicide Hotline (where suicide bombers are recruited (sorry, Jeff Dunham joke)). Or any number of other organizations who clearly couldn't tell the difference between fiction and reality.
