They just showed the game on WPIX. I'm disgusted.
Supposedly they will be getting local opinions about it later in the program. I guess I'll have to prepare myself to hear that it sends a powerful message about the futility of the war on terrorist...
I just tried to play the game. It isn't even any good. It's just a Flash version of the ancient Atari game Missile Command (aim sight at incoming target, push button), except the graphics are too jumpy and the planes are moving too fast so it's hard to even aim properly in the first place. I bet the programmer is around 16 and just did it because he thought it was "cool and hip" to make fun of something he knew was sacred to a lot of people, thus pissing them off.
The best way to fight back against this is to ignore it, IMHO. They want attention, so not giving them any is the ultimate defense.
