But it is just a video game. Kinda funny really. But what if Obama was a zombie in the game?
Either way... i think it is a horrible idea. As much as I think Palin is a dumbfuck and Glenn Beck is losing his mind... I don't think they should be depicted as targets of violence. Just make the zombies, zombies.
Hail, Hail!!!
Expansion Pack!
on a serious note.....do you guys think this could open up a law suite ?
Godfather.
If they used the exact logo of Fox maybe they can be sued.
Were you equally upset when 'Team America' blew off Janeane Garafalo's head?
Because, I thought it was kinda funny.
Hail, Hail!!!
Obviously, this looks like an indie no-budget crapfest of a game. It's actually more evil in the fact that it tricks hardcore libs to play a very shitty game.
I liked it a few years ago when NBA Jam had a code where you could play Obama / Biden vs. McCain / Palin.
with most of you harping on me about FOX news as a source I thought you might get a chuckle
out of it.....but NOOOOOOOOOO
Godfather.
ahhh and violance has been called to taunt it's first victim on this thread....will Aerial take the bate and counter with a violent attack ????
look away from...it's in all of us to some extent...well except Pandi
Godfather.
Yeah... but, you thought those scenes in 'Team America' were funny, too. Right?
I was just wondering if it is the violence that is offensive... or the characters.
Hail, Hail!!!
Are you offended?
(for Godfather: This is what I SHOULD have posted)
Hail, Hail!!!
Godfather.
Actually... I was asking if Aerial was offended.
(But, you did think Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn getting eaten by 'Panthers' in 'Team America' was funny, right? That and the puppet sex and puking in the alley scenes were hilarious)
Hail, Hail!!!
puking in the alley sounds funny though.....what kind of puppets ..are we talking jim hansen puppets ?..that's just sick
really man I have no idea what you're talking about sorry.
Godfather.
Check it out. You'll laugh, too... because it is fucking funny.
Then, realize how dumb the ruckus over this video game is.
Hail, Hail!!!
thunderbirds type puppets GF. muppet sex would be so very wrong.
and yeah you should give team america a look. its a satire so bear that in mind as you try not to laugh. heck i even found kim jong il funny. though if youre not a fan of south park or dont appreciate that kind of humour, team america(fuck yeah!!) might be lost on you.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

when my kid sold his X box I was soooooo happy...I can't stand the freakin things either
total waste of time in my opinion.
and Cosmo and Cate;will do ..is it on you tube ?
Godfather.
I can't stand these violent video games either....Call Of Duty etc anf THIS one is a totally horrible idea. It's neither left or right BOTH sides are capable of this horrific idea especially if it will make money.
I'm so glad my son has toned down/cut back his playing of Call Of Duty....he used to play it 4-6 hours or more a day.
Peace

point is, it seems to be a phase that most will grow out of eventually
my kids both played the game systems and still do a little but I bet less in the next decade.

I think it is a bit different to put the control into the users hands and have them shooting at people that are alive in a game then just watching a puppet movie on tv.
But in reality I don't care one way or the other about either. I thought Team America was funny. When I first saw the screen shot of this game I thought it was pretty funny. Just doesn't seem like a smart thing to do.
Thanks man!
I remember about a year or so ago reading about a guy who was so addicted to video games it actually killed him. He literally died from not eating or taking enough time away from playing games on a computer. That is, of course an acception to norm, but video game addiction is not at all uncommon. Equally disturbing is the violence in most of these games.
-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
You're a smart and reasonable guy... I know you understand the difference between a PS3 controller and an M60... and the difference between the real Sarah Palin and an animated zombie Sarah Palin in a video screen.
My point is... if someone is offended or appalled at this video game... were they equally offended by Sean Penn's puppet getting his bloody guts ripped out by a giant black kitty cat? Both are fictional depictions of real, living people... that is the similarity.
...
Similar case... what is the difference if, for example, there was an Afghani version of 'Call Of Duty' where you shot up U.S. Army Rangers from sniper positions or lit up I.E.Ds. on HMWWVs patrolling open roads. Are people's reactions going to be different a version where you are the Ranger, lighting up a hillside with the turret mounted .50 cal.?
I'm just wondering if people are offended by the violence (in both instances) or just offended when the people depicted are on their side.
Hail, Hail!!!
I saw my son playing the dang thing for hours at a time (2to 6 hrs) and it just irked me to see him waste his time on a game with no real productive value.
Godfather.
Hand, Eye Coordination, Problem Solving and most important, a healthy way for a young man to let out some aggression, without actaully hurting any real thing or any real person. Video Games have become the World's biggest hobby.
Or perhaps being offended is simply a licence to launch a generalized attack against anybody who you disagree with. In this situation a couple of clowns made a sub-standard game that mocks the Tea Party. Of course, no offensive act would be complete without a few sweeping generalizations about liberals. Why take offense at anything if you can't throw in a few cheap shots afterwards? It's this low-brow partisan BS that utterly kills intelligent debate on almost any subject.
It's a thin line to straddle. Nobody has problems with Nazis, Soviets, V.C., etc because the conflicts are in the past. The closer you get to depicting violence in the present tense, the better chance you have of offending people.
Ah, i was defending more the exstince of voilent video games rather than the particuler content of this game, i take your point.
