UPDATE: THEY HAVE SHUT DOWN THE PETITION, PRETENDING EA HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SPAM BOTS.
Coincidentally, the same day people found out what they were doing, they shut it down and post this:
...And I can't say I am shocked.

Thanks for standing up against homophobia.
More than 60,000 All Out members took action before our page came under attack from spammers. We've disabled the form, but want to assure everyone we've had no contact with EA regarding this campaign and are looking into the source of the spam.
You can read our press statement here and follow us on twitter @allout for more information.
Thanks for going All Out.
...And I can't say I am shocked.
Most of you know EA by now.
If you don't, I will remind you that EA was voted the worse company in America for 2012.
And I must say, that award was long overdue.
But now as the water boils and begins to rise, EA has unveiled their master plan to get you to believe
that all the backlash they get is from EA "defending their GAY consumers"...
No seriously.
"Electronic Arts (EA) -- one of the largest video game makers in the world - is the target of a hateful boycott campaign. Why? Because they approved a gay romance story in one of their partner BioWare's most popular games: Star Wars: The Old Republic. "

Yes, EA and Yoda want you to help them fight the darkside.
And by "you", they mean automated bots that spam Allout.com with praise and love for EA
defending their LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans) player-base after EA received 1000's of imaginary anti-gay hate mail.
This was also almost predicted to happen beforehand by a user on Reddit.com (comrade-stalin) which posted:
So instead of talking about the real problem, that EA is a greedy, soulless company that sucks up talented developers, has them make mediocre games for the sake of selling DLC and then spits them out when they fail....they decide to make Christians and Republicans out as the enemy.
That's fine I suppose.
Christians can be the religious enemy.
Republicans can be the political enemy.
And EA can be the game industry enemy.
See? Now everyone is happy!
