more “life imitates The Onion”

This real videogame story:

“Plans to let players control Taliban fighters in the highly anticipated ‘Medal of Honor’ video game have been scrapped amid harsh criticism from military officials and others.”

Reminds me of this Onion story from some years ago:

“Video-game developer Pixxel Arts announced Monday that it will delay the release of Beltway Sniper: Silent Strike out of respect for the victims of the recent D.C.-area shootings.”
