Blizzard just cracks me up everytime. Seems like not taking themselves seriously is a trend nowadays, evident with Kia’s “Drive-with-wii-remote” concept and BMW’s “Canine Repellent Alloy Protection” (CRAP) System, but Blizzard takes it to the next level - by introducing Taurens into the upcoming Starcraft 2.
Wait… Taurens? Heh, it gets better. Here’s the description:
In the old Confederacy, Terran marines were mostly criminals or rebels who had undergone mandatory neural resocialization. Freed from any previous allegiances or ideologies, these fearless soldiers stood ready to defend Confederate interests with their lives but exhibited an annoying tendency toward petty larceny, vandalism, and occasional cannibalism. Confederate authorities were unable to requisition enough reliable troopers in this way, and eventually recruiters turned to a new source of fresh meat for the grinder.
The obscure planet of Azeroth was found to harbor a dizzying selection of humans, mutants, and aliens in a state of perpetual superstition and conflict. The most physically imposing of these warrior races were the so-called ‘tauren,’ an anthropomorphic bovine genotype with super-human stamina, overpowered racial combat abilities, and bizarrely well-developed horticultural skills…
Occasional cannibalism? ROFLMAO. Well check out the source itself - Starcraft 2: Tauren Marine.
Look at the map… Azeroth is closer to Korhal and Tarsonis than Aiur.

Makes sense. Since being closer to Aiur means being closer to religion. And that’s a bad thing for Azeroth.
