Refrigerator Poetry

And when you're done with that, if you have more time to waste, you can play the Bush Game.

I think Chomsky would be too ashamed of validating repressive gender norms to be horny. =P

(And, speaking of excessive Leftism: ) Oh, gods, that game. That game traumatized me.

Now, don't get me wrong. I think the current administration really is the worst in our nation's history, and I'm giving my time and money to get them out. But that game was excessive. I think I feel about that game the way that, say, John McCain must have felt about the guy who gave out purple band-aids at the Republican National Convention to mock John Kerry's Purple Hearts. It's excessive and it rather denies our side the moral high ground. (I'm thinking mainly of the bits with Voltron and the Statue of Liberty, here.)

On the plus side, anything involving Mr. T is funny. Foo'.

Yeah, the game is rather excessively praising the Democrats, I'd have to agree. But it's still fun despite that.

And I have complete faith in Noam Chomsky's ability to be horny in a manner tht destroys gender norms rather than affirming them.

noamy-pants did make some babies back in the day, so i think his ability to get horny has been proven. whether or not he still has it in him to be horny is certainly a valid question, though. one i would like to know the answer to as well.

oh, and P.S.

i played the game to the very end and it wound up being a completely shameless campaign tool for KERRY.

not so surprising, i had a feeling it was headed that way.

the lame democrat=good, republican=bad thing was really tiresome, i agree. but i was pleased with the cuteness of the characters, their attacks, etc.

Actually, another problem with the game was the fatphobic comments about He-Man in the introduction. I could definitely have done without that. I got too annoyed at it to actually play beyond the introduction, although I did look at the demo sections on the various political issues.

fatphobic, yes!

there were other very offensive remarks and scenes that i overlooked in my hasty post.

one good part that you didn't get to see was rosie o'donnell showing up to fight. she had a special "pink triangle" attack, although i guess that was pretty much negated by howard stern's appearance with his porn-star attack.

michael moore was also a character (fall of bush attack), jesus came to battle (crucifix shooting laser beams attack), private jessica lynch, howard dean, john edwards...i think that is all.
