“Wait just a second, are you saying that Superman cannot fly?!
The next version of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six will be set in Las Vegas. In case you’re not familiar with the game, it depicts a terrorist attack which the player must fight against. The Mayor of Vegas, Oscar Goodman, doesn’t seem to have much of a clue about these types of things, read some of his hilariously ignorant quotes:
Review Journal – Jul. 08, 2006:
“It could be harmful economically, and it may be something that’s not entitled to free speech (protection),” Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman said of the game’s realistic scenes, which he had not personally viewed.
Every single court case that has interpreted laws banning or restricting the sales of video games has determined that games are entitled to free speech protections. So he just pulled that comment out of his ass!
“It’s based on a false premise,” Goodman said
Wow, the Mayor just now realized that fiction can be based on a “false premise”?! Is he really this clueless? Next he’ll be telling us that the Internet is a bunch of “tubes.”
Of course the guys over at Penny Arcade have their own hilarious take on this!
