   Wishing not to get into details, this is absolutely horrendous! Hatred or opposition of someone’s views is one thing and promoting their death through a silly game on the internet is another thing. It could incite some crazy sick person to actually execute it in real life. we all know about the Virginia Tech murderer and how a MOVIE may have inspired him to develop criminal tendencies.

   Hi Elie,

   Excellent detective work. I heard about this game today before Naharnet put it up by a bit and put up a post about it that is generating some emotional replies.

But as you mentioned, the site was closed.

   I’m gonna link to the google cache you found and H/T you if you don’t mind.

   [...] The game which March 14’s media purports to be “easily accessible on the internet” has generated a lot of online activity from people who just want to fulfill their curiosity. But still, they didn’t find it, I didn’t find it, and I don’t know of any other blogger who did. (Update: Eliedh found it and explained how) [...]
