I was told about this today, I didn't believe it so I went to look it up myself:

Shine displayed the game board, with properties including Westside Liquor, Harlem, The Bronx, and Long Beach City, and squares labeled Smitty's XXX Peep Show, Weinstein's Gold and Platinum, and Tyron's Gun Shop.

Players draw "Hustle" and "Ghetto Stash" cards with directions like, "You're a little short on loot, so you decided to stick up a bank. Collect $75," and "Steal $$$ if you pass Let$ Roll."

The creator of Ghettopoly, David Chang, did not immediately answer e-mails or phone calls seeking comment about the game.

On his Web site, Chang is unapologetic, and promises that more games -- Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly and Redneckopoly -- are coming soon.

:wtf:

This is hilarious. Aside from the fact that the game is clearly meant as a joke - it's true. If places like those detailed in the game didn't exist then it would be rude, even racial. But that's not the case.

Honestly, people are at war. People are dying. Is this really the most important thing out there?
