The Grassy Knoll Goes Digital

Well, it's official. The world has officially gone to Hell in a handbasket. Apparently some British scumbags have created an online game called JFK Reloaded. According to an article posted by The Inquirer, here are the games' highlights: "The objective is to fire three shots at Kennedy's motorcade from the Texas School Book Depository. Points are awarded or subtracted based on how accurately the shots match the official version of events as documented in by the Warren Commission. If you hit Kennedy in the right spots in the right sequence you get a high score. Getting Jacqueline Kennedy, or any other gunmen on the grassy knoll leads to deductions. Each shot can be replayed in slow motion, and the bullets can be tracked as they travel and pass through Kennedy's digitally recreated body." Gee, I wonder if they'd mind if we made a video game about the demise of Princess Di, called The Princess Die-ries. It could be like Pole Position, but with a royal twist.

I remember the late 70's movie, The Kentucky Fried Movie (LOVE 'Big Jim Slade!') having a commercial for a board game with the same premise, called "Scot-Free." THAT was hilarious. This is just capitalism/sensationalism, plain and simple. The things people won't do for money. 'Tis the season!
