    Didn't we already have a big race-prejudice argument over this stupid game a couple of months ago?

    Just a game based on satire, I am also gonna pickup Redneckopoly, that is probably pretty darned funny too.

    I wonder if GW Bush will make an appearance in that one.

    River,

    If it is offensive don't buy it.

    If enough people find it offensive, they will go out of business.

    Funny, entertainers said the same thing about 19th century black-face minstrels...

    Some things never change...

    so in the mean time. . . it is ok for folx to be offended?

    IN OUR SOCIETY
    who gives a damn if it is offensive
    AS LONG AS IT IS NOT OFFENSIVE TO ME!
    Is this your mindset/ideology?

    If I get a kick out of it . .. all the better

    No, RR, up with making fun of the less fortunate, those with fewer opportunities, less money, and crappy schools. It's a laugh riot for those of us who've never had to live in an impoverished neighborhood.

    Whoops, wait. I do live in a poor neighborhood that borders on an actual ghetto. And I don't think the game is very funny. Go figure. Nevermind.

    That's my question. It just looks like shameless race baiting.

    I just started the thread because Lil was talking about Hasbro putting them out of business.

    It is no less offensive than Grand Theft Auto, or Redneck Rampage, or any other parady.

    I just find it laughable that people are not allowed to make fun of stereotypes.

    Yet comedians do it all the time, and this is comedy...but some people just can't take a joke.

    It is not making fun of impoverished people, but pimps, hoes, gangs etc..etc....

    And making fun of those characters is no different than poking fun at the President.

    People are simply too sensitive........

    2 of my friends years and years ago wanted to make a game called "mobopoly". it looks now that someone kind of beat them to the punch.
