I was just cruising "Mugging the Monster" on Tv Tropes and found this amusing entry. In Oz, two robbers with machetes decide to rob the local sports club.

I originally promised myself I wouldn't say anything about this, but after visiting the Herogames forums and reading their self-righteous gloating as well as their, "waaah, the Ebil Right Wing will use this to say Muslims are evilbad because they hate Our Living God Obama" I can't contain myself.
