A new video game crosses the line
I'm not one who is easily disturbed by the content of video games and I certainly don't believe in curtailing freedom of expression, but isn't this a little over the line?
A new video game to be released on Monday allows players to simulate the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.Again, I'm no moral crusader, but this is a bit outrageous.
The release of "JFK Reloaded" is timed to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas and was designed to demonstrate a lone gunman was able to kill the president.
"It is despicable," said David Smith, a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother. He was informed of the game on Friday but declined further comment.
