Well, given all the kidnappings and executions going on over there, at least it sounds fun:
NEW YORK – A New Jersey game called “Wack the Iraq,” where players fire paintballs at people dressed as Arabs, has drawn ire from Arab groups after the city failed to convince the operator to change its name this summer.
The City of Wildwood, a seaside resort in southern New Jersey popular with summer vacationers, said the game would continue to operate until the end of this summer holiday season, but would change its name when it returns next year, according to Fred Wager, commissioner of public affairs and public safety for Wildwood.
“We didn’t like it because we were getting a lot of complaints about it,” Wager said in an interview.
File this under the “How do we teach our children not to cave into peer pressure when adults do it all the time in the name of Political Correctness” Department.

Saw that news video on MSN. That is from my old stomping grounds and they will do anything to get the customers in. After all, their money making season is only 3 months long. And, at the moment, there is a lot of patriotic tension to burn off. Yeah, it will piss off soem people but hell, that is what America is all about…FREEDOM.
They’ll get over it. If not, put them in the target booth.

I think someone should start a resort where people get to do things BECAUSE it upsets someone.
