Gay Games......




A sexual minority network has sent complaints to toy giant
Tomy and Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) over a new version of
Tomy's Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu game that uses a character based on
television personality Razor Ramon HG, alternatively known as Hard Gay.

The Kyoto-based sexual minority teacher's network is demanding that
Tomy haltsales of a version of the game titled "Kurohi-gei Kiki Ippatsu."

In the game, which is scheduled to go on sale on Dec. 30, plastic swords
are inserted into holes in a barrel until the character inside jumps out.

The game was planned by TBS, the channel on which Razor Ramon frequently
appears, and Tomy is marketing it.

The complaints claim that selling a toy in which a gay or similarly
associated person is put in a barrel and people 'enjoy' poking swords
into it discriminates against homosexuals. They also raise fears that
the game instills the impression in children that discrimination against
gays is fine.

Officials from the sexual minority network are seeking a response from
Tomy over the issues.

Tomy officials said they would respond.

"We have taken the matter seriously, and want to respond. The concept of
the game is not to stab people with swords, but rather it is to have the
character jump out from the barrel.We want to explain that there
has been confusion," a company official said. (Mainichi Daily News)

There has been confusion?? Ha ha. Now that has to be a slight understatement!
What is the Christmas version 'Bash a Black' or maybe 'Hit a Honky'? How about
'Club a China man'? I mean this really is irresponsible stupidity at it's best.

The idiot who thought this up should be put in a barrel and I'd personally
push in the knives - lets see how long it takes you to jump out! Absolute tit!
