If I am not mistaken, they already DO have Redneckopoly...
Course there was no outrage over that....
You are mistaken. Redneckopoly hasn't come out (or at least I couldn't find anything close to it on
E-bay)
I think it was in the works though, and if it come out I'm sure you'll hear about it from Zell Miller.
Well according to the games creator, a fair few more are indeed in the mix.

I've gotta be honest and say that the "You got you neighbourhood addicted to crack" card did raise a smile. The game looks so blatantly tongue in cheek that I really fail to see the problem. I mean, do you honestly think it's gonna be at the top of many KKK members' Christmas wish lists?
Its taking the piss out a stereotype. I fail to see why this only becomes such a big deal when skin colour is involved.
It sounds like Chang should possibly be posting a cheque off to the NAACP though. For the free publicity if nothing else.
PS: I know I can't linkify. Sorry.

Funny, I read the column as veiwing Ghettopoly as being just as big of an insult as MTV Raps.

So did I. But where's the outrage in that.
