Now, for those who are unfamiliar with this, it is a paintball shooting game that popped up on the boardwalk right by Mariner's right after September 11th. The game always seemed to me as one of those "Only in Wildwood" types of things, mostly due to its penitentially offensive name. As I thought the name was changed last year due to the up-scaling of the island, turns out that "potentially" was "actually", as people of Arabian (the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee) descent actually protested the name which led to the change. I think the name change wasn't necessary, as it was just meaning towards the terrorists such as Saddam. Here's the strange article from the website. (with photos from NBC10) Maybe before they even decide to protest, they should get the information right. The article suggests that the game is located in "Woodland, New Jersey", it is at the end of Morey's Pier (which it is not), and is an arcade. Cry about it fellas.  www.adc.org/index.php?id=2319 |

once again, political correctness run wild. such bs. I'm telling ya, if the moon landing was today, no way would they let Neil Armstrong say "one giant leap for MANkind", and no way could three Americans go first, there would have to be some multi-national coalition, a whole !@#$@# bus (even though the US would pay like 95% in $$ and technology contribution), and everyone would hold hands and jump off the ladder at once, how beautiful  ... ahh, sorry for venting, this is not a political site, so I'll stop.. |

Given the subject matter here, I'd say you're right on point. And you summed up my feelings on the matter right there. |

Well...for one thing it's not 'Whack the Iraq' any longer...and we are supposed to be helping the Iraqi people...not blowing them away. There were some Iraqis that were upset that there was a game on the B'Walk called that. These were, in some cases, American-Iraqis.
Now that all said, the guys running around there still 'appear' to be Middle-Eastern.

Hehehe... these are pretty funny.  Maybe they could revamp it... Construct a giant platform with big holes in it and make it a gigantic whack-a-mole-type game. Instead of a paint gun, give gameplayers a giant mallet to put the smackdown on poor college and foreign kids dressed up like Osama and Sadam as they pop up from the holes. Call it, uh, Slam-a-Sadam-arama, or Osama bin Hidin', or something like that... |
