Angry Birds And Overly Sensitive Pricks
Have you played a game called "Angry Birds"? If you don't have a smart phone (iPhone, Droid, Palm) then you probably haven't. Though I hear they are coming out with PC and console versions in the near future.
For those who don't know, let me tell you, this thing is the smart phone equivalent to Tetris. People are going ape shit over it! Since it was released a year ago, over 50 million people have downloaded it! It has sold almost as much as Legend Of Zelda. The reason for this is because it's an awesome game, pure and simple. Easy enough for a child to play, yet intellectually engaging enough for an adult to enjoy for hours. It has every bit the simplistic genius that Pac-Man or Asteroids had. I admit, I am an Angry Birds fan.
However, I sense something on the horizon for this game -- a prediction if you will...
The game plays out in worlds and levels, like the original Super Mario Brothers did. And today, after battling my way through all 15 levels of world 8, I came to world 9 and started on that one. I wasn't thinking on any sort of political level, that is until I reached level 11. That's right... 9-11.
Now this game is full of crazy constructions. That's the point. You have to use a slingshot to fling pissed off birds at their enemies -- a bunch of pigs who've stolen their eggs! The pigs build all kinds of interesting constructions that you have to destroy to get to the pigs. Boats, submarines, bridges, houses -- and skyscrapers. Now though there are plenty of levels that involve demolishing towers that resemble office buildings, I happen to notice that level 9-11 has just that sort of construction also. In fact, there is a box of explosives at the center of the tower which you must crash a bird into, causing the tower to explode and then collapse before you can even finish the level.
Now, mothers have downloaded this game for their kids. It's played by office workers, business people, police officers... probably even a congressman or two. How long do you suppose it will be until someone cries "terrorism"? Because you have to know it's going to happen. In this world of sniveling cuntwaffles just waiting for the next opportunity to whine about some insensitivity toward 9-11, you know SOMEONE out there is going to get butthurt about this.
Anyway, that is my prediction. I may be wrong, but all we can do is wait for it.
