“http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/11/21/kennedy.game.reut/index.html I am sorry I think this is taking it to far.” 9:31:43 AM 11/22/04 “That is just tasteless. What is there next project, 9/11 the game, where you have to try and crass a plan into the WTC?” 9:38:33 AM 11/22/04 “A tasteless videogame? I'm shocked!” 9:39:46 AM 11/22/04 “It is definitely signaling to kids that nothing is out of bounds. I also think it is obvious that using the controversy for marketing this could enable even a sh_tty video game to be assured of high sales...” 9:40:32 AM 11/22/04 “The Bush whack-a-mole game is more better.” 9:45:33 AM 11/22/04 “Grand Theft Auto San Andrais is better...” 9:46:11 AM 11/22/04 “I'm sure the people who have bumperstickers that say, "Where is Lee Harvey and John Hinkly when we need them?", will be out in droves to buy this one.” 9:48:28 AM 11/22/04 “The "anti-PC" folks should be cheering this as exercising freedom of expression. LOL! Bush Whack-a-Mole!” 9:51:31 AM 11/22/04 “I'd like to see a Dick Cheney version of "Operation" where you have to give him a quadruple bypass without the buzzer going off!” 9:54:11 AM 11/22/04 “aero, what do you think will happen when they come out with the shooting of MLK. Talk about protest and racial comments.” 9:54:27 AM 11/22/04 “I don't know anything about how this game is coded, but if it's possible, someone will come up with a way to modify the target to whoever you want it to be.” 9:55:49 AM 11/22/04 “Hey, why are we bltching? This is the wide open, progressive, modern society many have been fighting for where anything goes. This is the type of thing that comes from a “If it feels good, do it”, and “Why don’t we do it in the road?” culture.” 9:57:07 AM 11/22/04 “Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilley riding in the car might be fun!” 9:57:46 AM 11/22/04 “Maybe they should merge Grand theft with the JFK video idea? You could control JFK as he goes on the prowl for some company, extra points for Marilyn in the Lincoln Room with Jackie home.” 10:10:18 AM 11/22/04 “Okay, this has to be one of the most tasteless ideas I've ever heard. What do you think the odds are that the video game will be pulled? Then the company will have received millions of dollars worth of free advertising?!” 11:38:04 AM 11/22/04 “It's purchased via the Internet from a British company. I seriously doubt if it will be pulled.” 11:39:34 AM 11/22/04 “A British company !!! We should retaliate with X-rated games featuring the British Royal family. The Queen and her corgis Princess Anne and her horses, and 'friends' Charles, Andrew Sort of like spot the DNA or an IRA game of 'blow up the British PM'. where you lose points for blowing up Lord Mountbatten by mistake (Brighton), or take out the horses but miss the Queen(Kensington). I cannot believe that the US skin-flick industry cannot come up with something more tasteless !! I know - Princess Di and her lovers” 11:50:39 AM 11/22/04 “I have a video called "Princess Bi: The Crowning".” 11:53:47 AM 11/22/04 “What I'd like to know is, where was all the outrage from Teddy "hic" Kennedy and the rest when that one guy's book calling for Bush's assasination? I'll say the same thing I did then too, let it stand. If it's crap no one will buy it.” 1:42:00 PM 11/22/04 “Sounded good until I read the article. If you just sit in the book depository shooting at JFK then this is the most retarded thing I've heard yet. Game's need plot, levels, varying degrees of difficulty, and an assortment of characters and weapons. This game has none of those.” 4:57:57 PM 11/22/04 “That is sad......” 5:01:21 PM 11/22/04 merge Grand theft with the JFK video “Sweet! It could start with JFK laying in a hospital bed handing Jack Ruby a stack of bills to hit Oswald! When he recovers he goes on a rampage, ala Payback, taking out the Mafia and high ranking government officials in on the assasination. In the end he'll dye his skin and take up residence, with Elvis, in a retirement home somewhere in Texas. (Bubba Ho-Tep) A cameo from Bruce Campbell would be nice too.” 8:36:59 PM 11/22/04 “Do you think the Bobby Kennedy assasination will be available in the next release? I am holding out for the Ted Kennedy update.” 8:49:23 PM 11/22/04 “In Ted's version you see how much you can drink and still get that car over the bridge without killing your passengers.” 9:14:04 PM 11/22/04 “Extra points if Jackie scoops up all of the brains. I'm glad I wasn't a president in the 60s.” 9:14:24 PM 11/22/04 “It's a Russian plot to ruin young American kids' brains. No wait...their brains have been ruined long ago. Ignore me.” 1:19:46 AM 11/23/04 “they are talking with the writer of the game right now on the today show. documentary my ass!! (that's what he said) last edited: 11/23/04 6:44:17 AM” 6:43:25 AM 11/23/04 “I guess killing and virtual bloodshed is ok until it involves a name we recognise because then we get uncomfortable with ourselves.” 8:04:05 AM 11/23/04 “Silent J-- funny thing-- I've seen Bubba Ho-Tep!” 8:16:31 AM 11/23/04 “Stan Lee, I hold your comic books responsible for the childrens state of mind! On a side note, Hulk good, Toby bad, and give Bruce Campbell a significant role next time.” 5:36:06 PM 11/23/04 “Comic books are soooo expensive now....no kid can afford them. When I collected them...they used to be $0.25 to $1.00 each, you can get a giant sized one for 2 bucks. Now the comics start at $4 to $5 a pop. The cost of inflation......” 12:57:14 AM 11/24/04 “you could crash passenger jets into the world trade center on microsoft's plane simulator last year..they then made a patch available so you couldn't do that anymore.” 1:51:49 AM 11/24/04 “What! Now who's going to disprove the conspiracy theory's around the WTC if I can't fly my MS Simulator into them!” 6:59:47 PM 11/24/04
