Washington School Bans Halo 2 Tournament

Pluvius writes "A couple of high-school students in the Washington city of Puyallup wanted to raise money for the tsunami disaster in South Asia, and figured that the best way to do so was to hold a tournament using Bungie's hit XBox title Halo 2. Their school district disagreed, citing an anti-violence policy. Even though all of the parents of the children who would've taken part in the tournament signed waivers acknowledging the game's violence, Puyallup School District felt that due to school shootings across the country, 'anything we do that even looks like we're endorsing violence is not appropriate.'"

Remember when the little shits posted about this before? We all told them this would happen.

Anyway, the trendy little suckups should get off their asses and do something to really help out the world. "Look at me, I'm helping tsunami victims by playing video games! I roxor!".

And for fucks sake, the tsunami relief has enough god damn money already. How many fucking billions of dollars do they need on top of the billions that have been promised already? And just how much is $500 from some stupid LAN going to help?

Why don't you do something more productive as well as raising money for some cause in your own fucking home town? Or do you only care about the tsunami because that's today's cause dejour and you want to be uber leet and part of the in crowd like all the fucking pretentious fucks out there?
