Suicide Bomb game causes outrage

Keith Vaz, Daily Star, Telegraph and Bali Bomb Victims Group condemn new casual title ‘Kaboom: The Suicide Bombing Game’

Gaming has once again found itself in the headlines today with UK broadsheet The Daily Telegraph lashing out a casual game based on suicide bombing.

The Telegraph joins The Daily Star in expressing outrage at the game, entitled Kaboom: The Suicide Bombing Game, which has attracted the attention of the Bali Bomb Victims Group. The organisation’s Susanna Miller, whose brother Dan died in the 2002 Indonesia attack, labelled it “callous, inappropriate, irresponsible and deeply offensive.” She also urged any portals hosting the game to remove it.

Keith Vaz is right, How dare they make fun of Suicide bombers, noble fellows who'll bravely sacrifice their own lives to cause panic and misery unto thousands of innocent people.

Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to dig my old PC Engine out to play some Bomberman.
