This is really sick...not funny

Any comments other than the title?

A spokesman for the Internet site offering "Kaboom: The Suicide Bomber Game" (the more bystander-victims, the more points) told The New York Times in December that the game had been played by computer users about 875,000 times since its introduction in April and is but one of several of the site's questionable-taste games based on contemporary events, including "Extreme WTC (World Trade Center) Jumper," "Sniper's Revenge" and "Pico's School" (modeled after the Columbine, Colo., tragedy). Said the site's Web master, "People ... need to lighten up and realize there are far worse problems in the world than what games people are playing." [New York Times, 12-5-02]

Edit-I guess there's a reason you didn't mention the name of the website.

not trying to cause any arguements, but no-one complained when it was pro-american games where you-

Bomb Iraq
Bomb Afganistan
Shoot Osama

etc

Puts perspective on things imho.
