DHS Tries to Safeguard Against Giant Monster Attack
KnightShift writes "Earlier this month the Department of Homeland Security halted the publication of the Monsterpocalypse Series 3: All Your Base Strategy Guide due to 'national security concerns.' In a statement on its website Privateer Press, which publishes the popular kaiju-inspired collectible miniatures game, reported that 'Homeland Security pulled the shipment for an intensive examination last week when it arrived in the United States. While no comment was made to the nature of the investigation, several crew members within Privateer Press believe the government became concerned over some of the more radical ideals espoused by several factions within the Monsterpocalypse game.' Privateer Press Chief Creative Officer Matt Wilson added that 'I am confident that the investigation's outcome will reaffirm the rights of free speech and protest of the radical environmental group Green Fury at the perceived devastation man is having on our planet as well as the freedom of people to practice religion without governmental oversight — even those religions which may very well bring forth the minions of the ancient Lords of Cthul.'"
But still, saying that is like saying you were in your house minding your own business when the police burst down the door with no warning only to say "whoops" and being glad they didn't break the glass. Yes, that is good, but honestly it should have never happened in the first place.
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
The truth is Obama is a huge nerd and simply wanted early copies :)
If you aren't suspicious of your government's actions, you aren't doing your job as a responsible citizen.
The mess about Steve Jackson Games and Hacker is nothing compared to the many "Charismatic Christians" who have been fighting "Spiritual Warfare" against D & D since the late 70's.
When you figure out the how you are supposed to respond properly when the game store you wanted to shop at has a group of "Charismatic Christians" in front "speaking in tongues" to send whatever various game store demons they were there to send back to hell.
