Default Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Just watched the documentary "The Yes Men" tonight, good stuff.

It's about a couple of guys who impersonate representatives from the WTO, through a mock website that is remarkably similar to the real WTO website.

Anyway, they got their start by doing the same thing with George Bush's personal website. They obtained a VERY similar URL, and made a replica of the website, with certain subliminally satirical twists.

Anyways, they showed a news clip where GW Bush was asked what he thought about this kind of spoof website, and whether they had "taken things too far", and it yielded this lovely quote-

"Sure, I think there should be limits, limits on freedom."
George W Bush



So maybe there should be, right?
