Slashdot Mirror
You Run the Smear Campaign
Zordak writes "I came across this amusing story on CNN about a new PC game published by UbiSoft that's hitting store shelves this week called 'Political Machine.' It's a strategy game in which you run a presidential campaign through speeches, ads, campaign stops, and good old-fashioned mud slinging. You can choose to be one of the current candidates, one of several contemporary political figures (like Hillary Clinton or Condoleeza Rice) or you can make your own candidate. The game attempts to be extremely realistic, including using statistical data from the various states."
I think the purpose of this slashdot story is to start a flame war.
To reply to this story just insert into the blanks:
Can we {insert political dirty trick} like {politician}?
there's not enough selection in regards to political beliefs and you have to be a member of one of the two major US parties [ie republican or democrat].
Seems like an accurate portrayal of the American political system to me.
