911, The Game
I really can’t tell if this is for real or not. If it is real, I can’t imagine it making any money. Perhaps it is a hoax. If so, it is a good one. Nothing plays on American’s sensibilities like 911.
There is a third option I suppose. Perhaps this is intended as some sort of online art gallery with the viewers as willing, gullible participants. Hmmm, I just don’t know. Is this an act of genius or the worst case of bad taste ever to be inflicted upon the public?
Whatever it is, expect the major news outlets to get ahold of it soon. And with the public outcry that’s sure to follow, you can be sure that our brave elected officials will be calling for new laws, investigations, censorship, ad infinitum…

It only took about two episodes of the O’Reilly Factor to cure me of any belief that Fox News actually practiced journalism. I’m cured. In fact, I don’t even watch TV anymore as I prefer to get my news from either the radio or the Internet.
HAL CROWTHER of creativeloafing.com has written a damning editorial directed at Fox News.
