JFK Reloaded
Not everyone loves it when politics and technology collide.
"It is despicable," said David Smith, a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, upon hearing about a new video game released Today allowing players to simulate the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
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.
The game is available via download for $9.99 at JFKreloaded.net.

This game doesn't suprise me. We live in a Orwellian world where shock is of the essence and is honored by some of the citizens. It will turn a buck. Its the "american way". I think that the Kenneday family has an excellent case to sue for "intellectual" and "brand name" damage. Did someone from the NRA dream up this game?
