"War On Terror" Board Game Confiscated In UK
An anonymous reader writes "The board game The War On Terror is a satirical game in which George Bush's 'Axis of Evil' is reduced to a spinner in the middle of the board, which determines which player is designated a terrorist state. That person then has to wear a balaclava (included in the box set) with the word 'Evil' stitched onto it. Kent police said they had confiscated the game because the balaclava 'could be used to conceal someone's identity or could be used in the course of a criminal act.' Balaclavas are freely sold all over the place in the area." Schneier has blogged this stupidity, of course.
I wonder how much did the board game creators paid the police 'confiscate' the game? Talk about cheap advertising.
Why would you wear a dessert on your head? I mean I can see it if the game was like "Spin the bottle" or something of that ilk...
Guns are for wimps... Use a crossbow.. this way you can pin them to their chair when you go postal.
Because when I think 'hijacking an airplane', I think about wearing a balaclava with the word EVIL stitched to my head.
Technically the spinner is a munition, developed specifically for US intelligence.
I think you underestimate just how much I just dont care.
We'll use the slashdot moderation system and let the public police the police that police the police.
What's great about this is that we already have a metamoderation system, so we can police the public that police the police that police the police.
