Swift Kick Moms for Truth: Machinima with a Presidential Twist
Swift Kick Moms for Truth: Machinima with a Presidential Twist
September 25, 2008
Over at BlipTV we found this:
"Swift Kick Moms for Truth" is a one-minute “machinima” video featuring virtual versions of Obama’s grandma and McCain’s mother scolding the candidates for their deceptive ads. Lead-in by virtual Tom Brokaw.
Created in the Second Life virtual world by Machinima by Silver and Goldie, with voice artist Mark Winston.
The title, of course, harkens back to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth group, which trashed John Kerry's 2004 presidential bid. The term "swiftboating" has since become part of the language, denoting a smear campaign.
This video, however, is both non-partisan and just for fun.

GoodRobotUs: Which seems to be the only point Jack proved, that some people find some games offensive. i.e. Nothing.

GoodRobotUs: The discussion was supposed to be whether games were dangerous not 'Do you find some games offensive'...

JDKJ: I still think my buddy the midget who rides a unicycle backwards while juggling four bowling pins would have been a much bigger hit with that crowd. And he can make up statistics and misinterpret studies, too.

Andrew Eisen: VG cause violent behavior. VG companies influence behavior to get sales. Yeah, that makes sense. (To be fair, the Twitter feed makes deciphering JT's point pretty tough.)

Andrew Eisen: Yes, it's been proposed but as far as I know it has not been passed. Big difference.
