http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/07/video-game-targets-tea-party-zombies-fox-news-personalities/It riled me too.
Videos with violence are just offensive to me I know it is Zombies I don't even like killing mythical creatures . Hell, I'll say it
I do not like video games I will just say that . I do not like any shooting ones especially shooting dead .
My friend is a gamer. He was playing this . I know it is just zombies too not people but I am more a Gandhi or MLK type so offing these types is no fantasy fulfilled by shooting them
Especially in first person overkill
I can not recommend and I do not like the message .reminds me of something a republican tea party type would like to play
Anyone else play this or see someone playing it ?
It is making the news now.......
The online first-person shooter game called Tea Party Zombies Must Die, gives players the chance move around a decaying Fox News studio, killing zombie versions of presidential candidate, Michele Bachmann, star of the Tea Party movement Sarah Palin, speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and right-wing broadcaster Glenn Beck using an array of weapons.
Other undead creatures players may encounter include likenesses of the former Senator for Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum and Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.
They can also target a series of generic characters, of which the descriptively-named "Expresses racist views anonymously on the internet modern klan zombie" and "Factory-made blonde Fox News Barbie who has never had a problem in her life zombie".

(4,407 posts)1. Republicans only like it
when they're the ones shooting, er, exercising their second amendment rights. How often have we heard about their armed rebellions? How often have we heard that there is absolutely no reason to every take away anyone's gun? Unless they're black? Well, now someone is making a game about shooting Republicans and they can't take it.
Bummer.

That DUers seem to be in love with.
In checking on the link, I had to go past a whole bunch of NoScript allowances, and it is just junk.
Don't bother.

So it's hard to feel sorry for them now.
