Officer's Group Calls for Ban On 25 To Life

Posted by Zonk on Monday January 23, 2006 @05:05AM from the it's-offensive-all-right-offensively-bad dept.

Kotaku reports that the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund is calling for a boycott of 25 to Life. From the post: "It is absolutely unconscionable that game makers are enabling young people--or anyone--to dramatize shooting and killing as a form of entertainment while officers and innocent people are dying in real-life on our streets every day. We're encouraging parents, caregivers and everyone who is concerned about both law enforcement officers and children to ensure this game never makes it into the homes or hands of impressionable young people."

Bizarrely, the submitter decided to use the body's correct wording in his body and the headline's error in his header.

Bizarrely, the /. "eddatur" chose not to correct the submitter's error prior to posting the story.

"The officers suggest a list of Healthy Titles for players to enjoy. The list includes titles such as 'Whack-A-Coon', 'Which Towelhead Is The Terrorist' (the answer is all of them) and the highly controversial 'MLK Assassination Simulator.'"
