New Video Game Allows Players to Slaughter Priests, Gays, Cops, Muslims and Animals
"Going Postal" - or spraying lead indiscriminately at everybody in sight - is now available in a videogame, and it has raised the ire of Catholic League President William Donahue.
According to the Catholic League, a new PC videogame, "Postal 2," a sequel to the original "Postal" videogame is selling out across the nation. The new action game allows the player to be "Postal Dude," a character who simply mows down anything and everyone in sight. The player, for example, can blow a priest?s head off with a shotgun and kick the bleeding head around the street like a soccer ball. It is also possible to wait in line for confession or kill everyone, including the priest, in the church.
Gays and lesbians can be killed (there is a "Fag Hunter" arcade), cops can be decapitated, Muslims can be shot, dogs can be set on fire and kittens can have their rectums blown to bits. It is also possible to urinate in a person?s mouth and watch him vomit.
The League says that weapons of choice are abundant: shovels, tasers, rotting cow heads, pistols, shotguns, gasoline cans, rocket launchers, napalm launchers, Molotov cocktails, scissors, you name it.
Stormed Dr. Donahue: "The effect of this videogame on the average kid who comes from a good home is minimal. But the effect on kids who are not so lucky is more problematic. There are literally millions of kids, mostly young boys, for whom experiences like 'Postal 2' may prove to be disastrous. For a whole host of reasons, they already live on the margins of society. Getting off on violence this malicious and dehumanizing is dangerous. It is sad to note, too, that one reviewer said the game became too monotonous after a while. Thus does the game anesthetize the player to human suffering.
