To be honest I think it has humour in it. Haha... I would be stunned if the game will ever sell.
But why wouldn't they make such a game, sooner or later the game will be made and if nobody buys it, it's no big deal.
Just look at it with a grain of humour and all will be alright.

Its JUST A VIDEO GAME When people start taking offense to things like Tunenomi (Catoon Networks long standing name for its afternoon cartoon shows) because they think its offensive, its time to tell the sensative liberals to "suck it up and deal with it."

Its just a video game get over it. Geeezzz

Unfortuantely, it's the logical progression of the popularity of games like GTA. As long as there is a market for tastelessness, people will try to fill it.

Some clarification: It is a collectable card game, made by white wolf.

I'm the one who's brilliant plan to be able to go to bed early is to not go to sleep untill tonight and I can keep track of that.

Its just a game suck it up and deal with it.

My god if they have a problem with it, don't buy it. What next, will they try and pass a law to protect us from our right to choose what kind of card / video / other game we want to buy?

"Oh I am sorry sir, but the liberal politically correct left and uber religious right have passed laws protecting you from this kind of game."

I am an adult, I do not need someone to tell me what I can and cannot buy for myself. I am able to make the choice my self and do not want interferance from some politically correct liberal law maker and their holly than thou moral ethical standards force fed to me through laws that are designed to protect me from my rights.

AT, you're right, you have every right to buy (or not) a game like this if you wish to. However, the people behind the petition have every right to voice thier opinion and ask the game company to not produce this game. No one said anything about trying to outlaw tasteless games, as a supporter of free speech I would be against that.
