    If you are not offended by Ghettopoly, you should check out the internet game PimpWars.

    It is a blast.

    There are obvious and correct points both ways, but I have this feeling DD started this thread just to stir up a little trouble/fun on his part. Yes the game is negative, but if the game were based on blondes, rednecks, or Aggies/Longhorns no one would have any problems. The main point though why start a thread on it DD? :confused: ;)

    i think he's trying to advertise his new website that sells the ghettopoly board game more expensive than the official site at ghettopoly.com sells it for so he can make some cash.

    aka the "BBS Harangue-Out". Politics, Religion, Race and other heated topics you wouldn't fire away on in polite conversation. Not for the weak of heart, but keep it civilized or you'll get the heave.

    Hitler wine, hilarious. Das Juden ich too sensitive.

    :rolleyes:

    IIRC, started a thread on this game two months ago.

    http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s1004701.htm

    Belgium takes legal action on 'Hitler wine'
    Belgium's official anti-racism centre says it is preparing legal action to stop imports of an Italian wine with labels depicting Adolf Hitler and other leading Nazis.

    "A picture of Adolf Hitler is in itself too little (to trigger legal action), but he's also doing the Hitler salute and there is this message 'One People, One Empire, One Leader'," Ingrid Aendenboom, spokeswoman for the Centre for Equal Opportunities and the Fight against Racism, told Reuters.

    "That falls within the framework of the anti-racism law," she said.

    The wine "is apparently a huge success in Italy" but the Belgian public was "very sensitive to this kind of thing," she said.

    The wine is sold at Belgian flea markets.

    The head of the wine producing company, Andrea Lunardelli, told German television in September that the labels carrying phrases such as "Sieg Heil" and "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuehrer" were made chiefly for the German market.

    Its website says the labels "remind us of the lives of celebrated personages of Italian and world political history such as Che Guevara, Churchill ... Hitler, Marx, Mussolini, Napoleon."

    The German Government asked Italy in September to investigate whether the labels depicting top Nazis such as Hitler, Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler violated European Union anti-racism rules.

    German law strictly forbids the use of Nazi symbols or insignia, but German tourists were importing the wine from Italy or buying it on the Internet.

    And this applies to this thread how? He posted twice saying how funny it was and trying to get a response with a comment on PC when he knew this topic had already been discussed here. He simply delights in provoking on a subject he's largely oblivious about and he did it quite poorly here.
