defrogOur apartment building has an SRO dish that pumps free satellite channels to every flat. We’re not talking free HBO here, but usually national flagship channels like Arirang (Korea), the Australia Channel, etc. Fashion TV and Al-Jazeera is about as premium as it gets.
For reasons I’m not very clear on, we also get a 24-Hour news channel from Russia. In English. Which is how I found out about the hottest online game in America:
According to Wired, it’s basically a simplified version of Axis And Allies based on the premise that Obama really is as evil as the average Teabagger says he is:
Well, of course.
Interestingly, the game was created by Libertarians who supported Ron Paul, one of whom is promising another version of the game featuring George W Bush as the evil dictator who destroys America.
Still, the co-founder in the Russia Today piece (who is not the same co-founder who talked to Wired) sounds jolly convinced that Obama’s policies really will lead to The North American People’s Union. On the other hand, he’s got a game to sell and a dream demographic that thinks this a documentary in progress. So really, what else is he going to say?
Looking forward to the Dubya version.
Game on,
This is dF

To prevent a midterm recasting of Congress, Obama suspends the Second Amendment and dissolves the United States in order to form The North American People’s Union with Canada and Mexico. The people rise up in arms, combating the Marxist forces of Obama’s loyalist Black Tigers, the Islamic fundamentalist Nation of Malsi and The Cong — a group of deposed Democratic congressional leaders – as well as whatever government troops choose to align themselves with the errant administration.
Well, of course.
