Anti-Semitic, pornographic images on RNC web site

An online game produced by the RNC has been shut down after reports that the game displayed images that are anti-Semitic and pornographic.

The online game, The Obama Card Challenge, was developed by the RNC New Media Team. Intended for members of Young Republican chapters, the goal of the game is to "to borrow and spend like President Obama." Players search and select among lists of different items until the shopping cart total equals some undisclosed enormous imaginary sum.

The purpose of the game is to attract college student gamers to the RNC web site. The rules section of the site says that the grand prize winner will receive a $3400 prize, payable to the "YR chapter" of the winner's choice.

According to The Politico, things did not go well after the online launch. Item searches for body parts, such as "breasts", displayed images displaying those body parts. Easily offended people could well have been startled.

The source of the images turns out to be the Amazon.com catalog, which was used for the game's content. Less amusingly, a search for the word "Jew" displayed a book entitled Jews and their Lies.

8. This is worth a rec'd and

a kick..get it out how stupidly desperate the repukes are.

Fuckers had 8 years to make a go it and they fucked up the country and now..all they can do is WHINE WHINE WHINE and still fucking up.

9. What happened to the mantra of 2001: You have to respect the office?

Guess it's only a "principle" when a Republican is stinking up the office.

12. Pigs are Useful

You know... the guy who wrote the "stuff I can buy" module on that one would have done well to think about the audience first. It should come as no suprise that internet-erz will eventually digress from items of relevance to pornographic materials to... oh I don't know, Some fool trying to buy Jews.

Why is Amazon.com selling "Jews and Their Lies" in the first place? Not to mention it is the first result, rated at 4 1/2 stars, before even jewelry or Jaw Harps.

Weird...
