'Tea Party Zombies' Game Controversy

[The Northerner]

(WUSA) -- A new online game called "Tea Party Zombies Must Die" lets players kill conservative political figures and tea partiers -- and it's creating quite a stir.

The game was created by StarvingEyes Advergaming and features the likes of Sarah Palin, Bill O'Reilly, and Michelle Bachman as well as more generic characters like "blonde Fox News barbie" and Americans For Prosperity workers. The objective is to kill them all.

You can see the video for yourself on Starving Eyes' Advergaming's website (Warning: there is graphic and violent imagery).

A writer from MRC TV contacted the head of StarvingEyes who reportedly said, "The game was just a personal project. I am not worried about it effecting business."

1. My unsubstantiated hunch is that a right-winger secretly paid him to make this game. n/t

2. yep, now for the indignant media backlash

which will be followed up in a week or so by a handful of "kill the liberals" games, followed by a week of hype for those games, and relentless comparison to the (lower quality and much less fun) "Tea Party Zombies Must Die" game.

Not predictable at all, oh goodness no.

3. Hand the teabaggers some Preparation H...

They're about to whine about how butthurt they are.

Of course, every time they do it to us, they just snicker and say "Hey, it's just a joke! Lighten up!"

Excuse me for having zero sympathy for them and cackling wildly as I play the game and blow away some teabaggers!
