Although this isn't the best example I can think of, it is a current example free speech vs. moral decency dilemma. Just because you can make a video game like this and parade with your obscene t-shirt and bumper sticker doesn't mean you should.

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A new video game to be released on Monday allows players to simulate the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy...
...Points are awarded or subtracted based on how accurately the shots match the official version of events as documented by the Warren Commission, which investigated Kennedy's assassination.

I don't totally understand how this game got made. I mean, the last really horrible game to come out was postal 2, but it was so violent and retarded that it fell into self parody, and the designers knew that. But this game is not only in really bad taste (and not satire), but it also doesnt sound fun at all, so i really don't understand. WTF were they thinking?

sounds like a sniper training program that could be used for the military...why not? just pretend jfk has a turban and a beard
though honestly from the brief description the game doesn't sound like it's worth the $10

Just because this guy was a public figure doesn't mean we have to pu$$yfoot around anything that involves him.
