Has anybody seen that new video game that you can download from the Internet that you can go and assianate JFK. I didn't know anything about it, but today when I was in class this one girl brought up the subject on it and it turned out to be a very interesting discussion. It's weird because some guys over in Scotland decided to make a game of it and you can get it off the internet. To me, i personally don't like that because that was a time in history when our people lost a great president and to make a game out of it just isn't very fun.
Posted by thaox075 at November 23, 2004 12:11 PM | TrackBackI'd have to agree that creating a game like that is a little wierd.

Who cares? It's just a game. It's the freedom of press kinda thing.
Posted by: Beth Sandager at November 23, 2004 08:55 PMI'd hadly consider it a "freedom of the press kind of thing." It seems a little morbid for me...whats next from these people, Columbine: the video game?
Where do you draw the line?
Posted by: Joseph Goss at November 28, 2004 06:09 PMI think that to make a video game out of such a tragedy is very sad. Sure he is free to create what he wants, but who would honestly think it would be fun to pretend to assassinate the president? In my opinion it seems like a very sick way to have fun.
Posted by: Meryl Larson at December 5, 2004 07:54 PMI do agree that the JFK Vid. Game is weird and upseting to me. I personaly really liked JFK as a president, and it was sad that he had to die in that way. But it is a freedom of speach issue. If you don't alow this game to happen whats to stop some one like Tipper Gore to come in and try to sencer our vid games. As a side note I don't think you would be as upset if some one made a kill Osomid Bin Laden, or Sadam Husain game you would find it funny. Where people in their countrys would find it to be disturbing.
Posted by: Amanda at December 7, 2004 04:21 PMThe JFK video game does have an odd choose of plot lines that I personaly dont believe is a good choose but you have to rember that it is just a game and thats it. It isnt real so i dont think that it is that huge of a deal. Though i wouldnt have let it be made/released if it was up to me.
Posted by: Bryan at December 7, 2004 09:12 PMI think that many of today's video games have gotten out-of-control! When little kids play games in which they have to kill one another, they have difficulty deciphering the fiction world from the real world. I'm not sure what news station covered this story,... but it is from a few years ago:
There was a young boy, about 7 or 8 who was watching his baby sister while his mother went to the store for some groceries. She started crying while his mom was gone and he couldn't get her to stop. To get her to stop crying, he hit her over the head with a baseball bat which ended up killing her. When the police questioned the boy about the incident, he told them to just start over (he was referring to restarting like a video game).
no thats really bizarre. especially because the guy isnt even from this country. why would he care so much? a line needs to be drawn and that video games cross it. JFK was a good president and needs to be shown more respect.
Posted by: Ceci Wilson at December 13, 2004 11:02 PMI have not seen this video game but i have too heard about it... If you ask me it is pretty rediculous to reward a person for shooting JFK at the exact trajectory was thought to kill him. I know it is a only a video game but as stated by someone above, where do you draw the line. I feel the assasination of JFK was such an important event in U.S history that it should not be mocked as it is in the game. It is rediculous and should be banned from the internet, while those involved should be punished in some way.
Posted by: Dan Kuhl at December 14, 2004 08:37 AMThe Prez that cheated on his wife more than Bill Clinton and sent guys into Cuba and died. I dont like the idea of killing a president or anyone especially when it happened but JFK wasant all that great.
Posted by: David Blade at February 27, 2005 12:24 AMpersonly i think the whole jfk thing was a load of shite when oswald missed all his shots and there was a nother assasin the shat from a car park by the texas book depositary
Posted by: ben at March 3, 2005 03:59 PMI think that this video game is a great Idea. We can finally see that the assassination was a hoax. And personally you Americans wouldn't care if they made a game about any other countries leaders getting shot. Suck it up.

Posted by: this is gay at May 10, 2005 07:13 PMI LOVE LITTLE BOYS AND JFK.... DONT SHOOT HIM
Posted by: Drew Knight at May 16, 2005 01:29 PMI just heard this that is dam right wrong jfk was a good presadent not a good targit to shoot at
Posted by: james at July 1, 2005 08:43 AMI've been playing JFK Reloaded and I must admit I don't feel any kind of "connection" when I kill him (which I've only managed to do once so far). Granted I wasn't alive when Kennedy was killed, so that might have an impact. I have felt really bad the two times I shot Jackie, but that was more because I knew I wasn't supposed to.
I think it is a very interesting concept. If the game is intended to prove Oswald and the highest score was under 800, I don't think it did it's job. I for one don't think a C+ proves much of anything.

Posted by: OswaldTheAssassin at September 8, 2006 01:10 PMthis game is freakin awesome! it's morbid and deranged and AWESOME and all you people who wear your feelings on your sleeves and are too naive to realize that the jfk assination was a freakin set up so that people wouldnt suspect what really happppened should all go eat shit and die! i think the idea of shooting someone is an awesome storyline for a game and if you have a problem with it then dont play it and leave the rest of us alone. we are all perfectally content with going to hell in a basket so fuck off!!!!!
