Just...no.
Ok, maybe if they'd used the word "troll" in the title at least once, but pretending this is some sort of serious attempt to tackle important issue...fuck off.

Wow, I got to the bottom of this page and I just stopped caring. I doubt even Jack Thompson would waste the air it would take to ***** about this game.
Good God, what an awful story. It's so bad that I can't even get myself riled up about it.
I'm just going to handle this the way I always deal with attention whores: ignore it.

Yeah same, haha its just overly ridiculous. I can see it getting shut down before release though.PrinceOfShapeir said:

I like the picture of the world that the game paints(wouldn't be to bad of a world to live in ) as well as the jabs at the politician/anchors.(which made me chuckle) And it sounds funny as hell in general so if it does make it to the Xbox in some form I think I'll buy it
Ha ha.. it's funny because it's offensive! Let's call people natzi's and fat! That makes a statement! It's all so edgy and political!
It's like they watched an episode of South Park and thought "Hey.. let's do that but take out any sense of true understanding and reason! It'll be lolz!"
I am hoping this fails. Horridly.

I had a similar reaction.icame said:
OT: Is it alright for me to say that developers on crack would have came up with a better game concept? Did they seriously think the idea was good? Personally the childishness makes me thinks it's gonna turn out bad.
It's an arcade-style shooter? So basically the story/controversy will be encased entirely in that horribly written essay which will roll after the title screen?
I really hope these f**** don't get the kind of attention they're going for, this is pure cash-in.

Ugh. One of these days, people west of Turkey might actually find out what the word Fatwa actually means [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa], or the range of things they are used for (from the sale of vegetables to the condemnation of terrorism [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatwa_on_Terrorism]).Undead Dragon King said:
I mean seriously, if you found out that the Russian media during the cold war were telling their people the English word "Opinion" meant "death sentence", "school" meant "training camp", "struggle" means "religious war", "student" and "casualty of war" both mean "terrorist", "darling" was an insult, "girl" is a derogatory term, and "knock on wood" and "OMG" were calls for death, wouldn't you think it was propaganda on a grand scale?
When an Arab woman says "I dropped the girls off at school today. OMG. Every morning is a struggle these days. In my opinion they should take the bus, but my darling husband says they'll be better students if they're not all riled up. Not that they're not doing well, knock on wood" translates to a thesis on death to the west, something is skewed horrifically.
By the way, that's also part of the reason you get this:
You are aware that this is a propaganda tactic in and of itself? Itemizing anyone on a large scale (like posting each individual shooting in America to demonstrate how they're monsters as a whole, or posting individual cases of black crime separate from white), or putting out stats (~8% of Muslims think attacks on civilians can be justified!) without comparatives (~7% of Americans think so too) is to get away from things like, oh I don't know, the actual level of terrorism in the US (where Muslims are 6% of attacks [http://penjihad.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/fbi-terrorism-pie-chart-1980-20051.jpg]. Way behind Latinos and Left wing extremists, and being in between Jews and Communists for the number of attacks.Therumancer said:
How scared are you of the other groups?
So what's the problem? That the Middle East has extremists on TV with a chalkboard telling people "X is the enemy" and "they're coming" and "get them before they get you"? All in isolated soundbites? Well golly gee, that's hard to replicate [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQcvbw6ExTQ]. (P.S. At least mine hasn't gone through a translation filter first).
Quick question. How much of your video evidence comes from Memri TV? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute#Reception]? (I'll give you a hint, about 60% of all Arab Media that the western world gets comes through Memri TV. Go check if they're trustworthy. Also, which words do they not bother translating?)
Personally, when I look at something like that, I prefer the facts. Facts like of all Muslim terrorism in the USA, 70% has been stopped by the Muslim community. Higher than any other community. Even though many other communities produce more terrorists (Muslims account for about 6% [http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-2002-2005] of US based Terrorism, and even less for European based).
No wonder there are so many conspiracy theorists in the Middle East. The alternative is that this bias is natural, which makes the conspiracy theory, filled with comic book style villains demonizing an entire people for profit, the nicer option. It's the option where humanity isn't failing.
Unfortunately, some people like to fall for it. I say like because most clearly have the capacity to see it when applied to them. I've posted that Beck video before.
"Americans aren't like Beck!" if they're liberal.
"That's not what he means!" if they're conservative.
"You're picking and choosing!" if they're either.
Oh, and don't forget "That's not as bad!", though before making that statement, pretend Beck is brown with a beard. Don't forget to add the Arab accent [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6t1s8MMvFE]. It's not any better. It's not less meaningful. It's not more effective. It is exactly what happens in the Middle East. It is spun the same way too, by media abroad, and by people in forums, talking about a place they've no clue about.
Aaaaanyway, way too long, but goddamnit, you have no idea how stupid this TV-inspired view of the ME looks from the other side of the fence. I'll let you get back to your circling wagons and high noon shootouts to protect from marauding native Americans, UFOs and 50 cent.
In bankrupt Britain, the honorable Members of Parliament decided not to fiddle their expense claims and rip off the tax payer.
I lol'd.
OT: Well, if anyone is actually offended by this I wouldn't know what to think of them. Its just so... Silly.
