KS Governor's Son Creates Prison Themed Board Game, Don't Drop the Soap
Source: Canadian Broadcasting Corporation

TOPEKA, Kan. - The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled "Don't Drop the Soap," a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.

John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. The governor's spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said both parents "are very proud of their son John's creativity and talent."

1. "wheelchair-using 'Wheelz," muscle-flexing "Anferny" and business suit-clad "Sal 'the Butcher.""
What about the corrupt Republican lobbyist?

10. Probably never occurred to him; seems like his inspiration was "OZ"
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 11:56 PM by mcscajun
and they didn't have one in there.

Wheelz = Augustus Hill
Episode 6: "Mob boss Schibetta has stomach pains caused by ground glass intentionally mixed in with his food"

Of course, he couldn't call it "OZ: The Board Game", but as long as he keeps the parallels to a minimum, he won't get sued by HBO.

2. Ugh. I was hoping that was going to turn out to be an Onion.com link
Sadly, it is real. :grr:

Since when did gay-bashing come back into vogue? This is revolting.

5. Gay-bashing? I'm gay, and I don't consider it "bashing"
Maybe I'm just not "sensitive" enough.

4. Good for him; very creative and shows a sense of humor
We used to hear "don't drop the soap" a lot in the Army, too. :hi:

8. Prison rape isn't funny
But the conservatives love it. It is what they wish on everyone who goes to jail.

11. Big controversy here in Kansas
Sebelius is much loved by Dems and moderate Repukes here. But they are sure not happy about this game her son is selling.

14. That's disgusting.
Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 12:54 AM by seawolf
Some of the human scum in prison are willing to knock people's teeth out to make oral rape easier, and don't give two shits if someone gets HIV from anal rape, and this schmuck thinks it's funny?

Somebody get his e-mail address, I've got an article to send him.
