@Lamburger Helper: Speaking relatively, of course.

@IntelSilver: Whats wrong with hitting somebody with the koran? Its not like its important.

Lamburger Helper

I could actually see beating Bin Laden with the Qu'aran, because his brand of Islam is a vicious and damaging perversion of original Islamic religious tenets; as far away from actual Islam as, say, the Branch Davidians were from Christianity. Plenty of Muslims out there would love to beat some sense into ol' Binny, and I don't doubt that their holy book wouldn't make a good club.

All that aside--I would buy one of these if it were Whack-A-Hitler, and one for my Dad. Hours and hours of fun.

@IntelSilver: I never said you were Muslim. Doesn't change the fact you were getting your panties in a wad over nothing. And yes, I seriously doubt you would do the same if the religion was Christianity. I see it get bashed here on a regular basis. But you know what I don't see, those who bash it getting banned. Just like the normal media, boo Christianity is bad while Islam is just misunderstood and really the religion of peace. Kotaku, if you're going to ban based on religious sensitivites, how about you start doing it on an equal basis?

@I_Hate_This_Place: Amen! I couldn't have said that better myself.

@I_Hate_This_Place:
I'm not muslim you idiot. Why would I not say that?
I just hate idiots that bash on a religion just for laughs. I would have said the same for Jesus and for any other religious figures.

IntelSilver

You know what this means.

A-MER-I-CAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...fuck yeah!!!!!1111!!!!!

WhoreofSpamylon

@73mike: so true, while they're at it they could add a little boy molesting priest too!!! whoooooHOOOOOO!!!! git er done!!!!!!

chrisgriner

There's actually some mildly entertaining allegory in this: feed the game quarters and be "forced" to beat on a baddy at a (slightly) later time.

(the obvious parallels being the US financing of the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan versus the Soviets and the Regan administration's support of Saddam versus Iran in the eighties)

FellTheDabus

@k_dash: He's hiding inside that wack-a-mole game, duh!

Kanik

The sad thing is that some idiots would be legitimately entertained by this, seeing as how a lot of people are more concerned with killing foreigners than actually protecting U.S. security.

@Mikey G:

I GOT SO DRUNK I THINK I SHIT THE BED...THEN I GAVE A DUDE HEAD...PISSWASER, GREAT GERMAN LAGER!!!

acez2087

Yeah, support the pointless War, America.. do people still actually care about Bin Laden's whereabouts?
The media can easily manipulate this population that it's not even funny.

k_dash

So would this be the first game ever that actually rewards the player for constantly missing the target?

exolstice

That guy needs to work his lats more, maybe eat some more lean meats and fibrous greens too.

Grinman

Shit! Someone said Bin Laden and Koran in the same sentence! Chill out. Some people just can't wait to get offended. There's no need to be offended unless something is directed at you personally.
Hitting him with a Koran would be funny, not because I like to bash Muslims but because it plays further on the American idea of what Muslims are like, I think this whole concept is more a jab at the US than anyone else.

cheeseboybeans

I especially like the artwork at the top, with a be-muscled Uncle Sam literally whacking bin Laden with the foam mallet, as though that would actually stop him in real life.

Neo_Deus

Hehehehe... Americans... hee hee. You provide the rest of the world with so much amusement!

Sabre_Justice: Okay, no more long name.

heh, it would be fitting if there was a busch light in one hand..

flagg

@IntelSilver: No, you were being oversensitive. Don't try to back out now. And of course, if it was a Jesus pop-up or Bush pop-up and someone said use the Bible instead you would be just as up in arms, right? Some of the people on this fucking site are a joke, and Kotaku is starting to cow-tow to their stupid demands of political correctnes. It's starting to get fucking sickening around here.

I_Hate_This_Place

yeah, thats gonna help stop the war...

I'm surprised they didn't stick Kim Jong Il in there.

@Roto13:

Yeah! No shirtless man, no sale!

Besides you can't "strike a blow for freedom" with a shirt on. That's just ridiculous. Common sense people!

aiko.adonia

Hahahha! Bin Laden = Saddam = Hitler!

It's funny because it's true!

They should add an illegal immigrant, a hellbound abortion doctor and a godless Murka-hatin' liberal while they're at it.

That'd cover most of the Fuck/Snooze simplified view of the world.

73mike

It's just pointless without the shirtless man, imo.

@tsathoggua: @Netnavi:
I wasn't being oversensitive, I just thought what he said was ignorant.

IntelSilver

@iby777:

There'll be no more watching 'Control Room' for you.

I_fit_in

Jorts ftw!

Gutzman

They need to replace the American flag Hammer with a Cluster bomb, because that what the "American heroes" used to fight Iraqis and News channels.. the game even have the same sky view

iby777

That guy's probably playing COD4 now.

Nexus6

Wow, this picture screams "white trash"... LOL.

Highlander Wolf

@I_fit_in: Ooooooookaaaaaaaay... I could say something here, but I think I'll step away...

Chef

haha! Take it. I'd laugh my ass off if I heard that on tv!

Netnavi

I don't know, Navi. I kind of liked that last line.

'And also, lol, Bin Laden'

I might somehow integrate that into my inaugural address to that nation when I become President of the United States, with your permission, of course.

I_fit_in

@IntelSilver: You're right; they should use a miniature statue of Mohammed, not the Quran. Although that wouldn't make much sense, given the general theme of the game.

Slightly-tasteless dig at oversensitive fellow Kotakuite aside, this idea could be applied to a lot of things. I'm sure it'd be therapeutic for a lot of things: they could make, say, Whack-a-Court-Injunction and sell it to Jack Thompson.

tsathoggua

@Netnavi: whe'red the rest of my comment go!? Too politically charged I gather? Some kind of censor?

Netnavi

@IntelSilver: wow! So you got the guy banned for saying to use the koran as a mallot to wack a terrorist! Way to go! I bet if he said the Bible or something to do with Jesus you'd have no problem.

Even though I would get offended I would know that a joke is joke sometimes. Even if it is in bad taste.

Netnavi

@IntelSilver:

Is it some kind of all purpose blender they sell on late night infomercials?

It's that, or it's some ancient religious text responsible for the deaths of millions of polytheistic peoples in the cradle of human civilization.

I just don't know anymore... perhaps if I watched more fox news...

I_fit_in

Lou , put your shirt back on.

Someone needs to photoshop the guy with green skin. Haha!

And also, lol, Bin Laden

Netnavi

@Cwn: nice

frostcircus

This brings up a larger issue...

Who goes to the arcade anymore? And without a shirt? He's probably turned away to hide his moobs.

kosbee

And in All-American competence the Bin Laden mole will get stuck in a hole somewhere and no one will be able to even find it, let alone be able to repair the machine.

Cwn

@Soos: Yeah, but the only thing better than a dead Saddam is a... huh... deader Saddam. And, huh, he's never dead enough. Or something.

...Mkay, g'night y'all.

Antiterra

@I_fit_in: Do you know what the Qur'an (also written Koran) is?

IntelSilver

After his game of Whack-a-Laden, he's going to go relax with a Piswasser.

@Soos: You unpatriotic bastard! STFU and stay away from America cuz we RULZ!!!1!!1!11

lol jk I kid I kid

@IntelSilver: Forgive me, but i'm not quite sure what was wrong with his post?

I_fit_in

@IntelSilver: You appear to be mistaking Kotaku for a large pile of eggshells

frostcircus

@TxKARATEDUDE:
Please, someone ban this guy asap

IntelSilver

Umm... I don't think you should post this on Kotaku. This has the potential to stir up trouble...

IntelSilver

NessD12

I'm pretty sure that's a German hand grenade he's using. Mixed messages!

frostcircus

The guy needs to replace the Foam Hammer with a Qur'an...

TxKARATEDUDE

we need a Bush version

Grey Gecko

I'd love to buy one of these for my neighbor for Christmas.

I'm sure he'd appreciate the irony of playing a game based upon killing himself.

I_fit_in

A, do Americans even remember bin Ladin?

B, Hussein's dead. Are you going to be bashing his corpse?

Soos

GO AMERICA!!! wait...nevermind.

wow...
