US Representatives shown parody videogame as evidence of terrorist activities
http://www.watercoolergames.org/archives/000555.shtml

Quote
US Representatives were shown a parody video as real evidence that terrorist groups were using videogame mods to recruit young members. In other words, US lawmakers are being advised by incompetent contractors that mistook an amateur video with dialogue from South Park creators for an al Qaeda recruiting video.

This is not funny.
If I would be forced to join the "War on Terrorism". I would seriously have to consider should I join the US side, or the terrorist side. I would propably build a fortress and shoot at both sides. :blah:

I'd sell arms to both and use the profits to move to a mansion in Canada.

Arms trading is huge and important for Russia. They have arms trade agency and aggressively sell their stuff to more or less whoever wants to buy it. Really big things, like newest jets and missiles, are reserved for more or less friendly or neutral countries, like India, though.

No, because smart people become doctors and scientists and such instead of going into politics.
