220,000 signatures? I think that's 100 signatures for every copy that game sold.

nah enmitywithin March 9 2006, 19:14:30 UTC

Betcha 50 bucks that most of these people were paid to sign it

Lol, could be. Anyways I'm sure the petition will be very successful, like the petitions to stay out of Iraq. After all, in a representative democracy the power does come from the people.

I don't think I've ever been more embarassed of my state. I know we're conservative, but really, it's getting to be quite bad.

Yeah, but she's from D-Town! Since when is that area conservative?!?!?!?!

Re: Wow... psyco_chick32 March 9 2006, 19:19:02 UTC

I'm embarrassed, too. I mean, I support avoiding 25 to Life... but only because it's a craptacular game, not because it's evil.

Doesn't it also allow you to take the side of the cops?

Facts get in the way of fear-mongering.

(nevermind that the game is awful, and very few people will ever play it to any meaningful extent.)

No, but I bet more hardcore 14 year olds are gonna want it.

anticron March 9 2006, 19:07:23 UTC

Even 14 year olds know a worthless game when they touch it. :)

"Police Chief Ted Quisenberry"

Did anybody else read Quisenberry as Quimby?

The only reason she's worried is because she lives in the Detroit area... Probably Bloomfield Hills, though...

What I find hilarious is that were it not for the protests and other rablle-rousing, the game would have died a quiet death of neglect, the fate befalling all poorly-executed games in the cutthroat game business...

I believe it goes, 'There is no bad publicity.'
