    Default JFK Assassination Game - POLL

    I screwed up...should've put a poll in my last one. Mod - feel free to combine (not that you need MY permission).

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation...-jfk-game_x.htm

    The Glasgow-based firm Traffic said "JFK Reloaded" was an educational "docu-game" that would help disprove conspiracy theories about Kennedy's death. The game was scheduled due to be released Monday, the 41st anniversary of the shooting in Dallas.
    I'm curious what others' opinions are on this topic. Many find it repulsive and disrespectful. Some claim it to be "educational". I'm on the fence with it at this point. There is indeed something disturbing about it...but why should it be any more disturbing than playing Roller Coaster Tycoon where you're sending a car full of people flying over the edge of a poorly designed roller coaster to their flaming smashing deaths? What is different about JFK?

    I think these bastads ought to have their web site bombed. If the ones who did it got charged under the DMCA I would not vote to convict.

    Much like anything produced for shock value, getting outraged over this stupid game will merely result in the people who made it getting more publicity and likely generating more sales of it. Remember those trading cards that they made of serial killers some years back?

    If you want the offending enterprise to truly die, then ignorance is the best policy.

    Devil's Advocate - why is it different because it is JFK?

    I found it interesting with the multiple angles and all that. Plus, it does keep those tragic events in the public eye, though I can't say I'd be thrilled to be the shooter in this kind of game. I don't mind being the shooter in other games, but not this one.

    My opinion might have something to do with the fact that I'm Australian so therefore am only patrotic about things in relation to my own country.....

    I voted It is no different than the rest of the shooter games - big deal.

    The whole thing gives me an upset tummy. It is extremely disrespectful to the family and to the American public.

    Hell. I'm still grieving over Lincoln.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
