File in the category of "You couldn't make this stuff up", former Gitmo detainee, Moazzam Begg, is on his way to starring in a new X-box game. The new game, Rendition, is being developed by a software firm in Scotland and lets players control a Guantanamo detainee who is trying to shoot his way out of the prison. Begg's "expertise" was called upon as the game's creators needed to know the layout of the prison thus he was initially hired as a consultant.
Needless to say the game maker is being criticized:
"We have had a lot of hate mail about this, mainly from America, saying things like, 'Don't dare put out a game that shows them killing our soldiers," Zarrar Chishti, director of Scottish software company T-Enterprise, told the U.K.'s Daily Mail."
Hate mail? Sounds more like adamant requests not to make an outrageous "true to life" game about killing American (or British) soldiers - can't imagine why anyone would find that offensive and unacceptable - can you?
Zarrar Chishti, director of the software company, insists that only "mercenaries" will be killed - mercenaries at Gitmo? - now that sounds a bit NON-realistic.
Chishti further states: "We are expecting an extreme reaction to the game in the US. But we think it will sell well in the Middle East."
Well - guess that should come as no surprise - but you can be sure that the "extreme reaction" in the USA WON'T look like THIS or THIS over THIS.
At a cost of £250,000 or $405,000, the game/atrocity is scheduled to go on sale this coming October.
Just another glaring example of: For many people - when it comes to money - there is no morality.
