Videogame: JFK Reloaded

It's official! Hope for this countries youth has officially gone in the crapper!

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/21/ken...eut/index.html

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.
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.


Discuss.

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?

Rockstar should make a game where you're Princess Diana's chauffeur trying to manuver away from the paparazzi.

Hey, Salty, I realize that you hold the French in rather "high" regard, but...
it's "chauffeur'.

Yeah, we'd never hear the end of that, especially since 58 million of us are so stupid.

So where all the brave soldiers that died during WWI and II. And all the current soldiers and the ones that fought in the Gulf war.

All of them have had video games made after thier lives and deaths and I haven't heard anything about that.

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

So because they aren't named thier not as important?

What about all the memorials to un-named soldiers aren't they important?

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