Abortion Games? What is our society becoming?!

[Galiantus II]

This makes me physically and emotionally sick. I can't believe our society is so heartless and corrupt we are not outraged at this 'joke' or whatever it is. I am not talking about actual abortions here, but making light of abortion or life in any way is extremely disrespectful to women, and life in general.

Here's the link. It isn't graphic, and it's just ballons, but the spirit of the thing is extremely offensive.

So what? It's not like they are performing real abortions (which are fine) but its not like they are saying you have to go get an abortion

That looks like fun. But hey, it's freedom of speech.

It's quite obviously a joke, albeit a sick minded one: there aren't really any shortages of those around, though.

[Rodenheim]

They're college students stabbing balloons under their shirts. They're hardly mocking real abortions and cooking foetus soup.

[Frisivisia]

Cue abortion thread in 3... 2... 1...

Sure other catholics like me could find it offensive but they still have the right to do so.

[Norcroft]

like uve never heard a dead baby joke before.

[Choronzon]

I would only be offended by this if I thought that abortion really was a depressing issue and babies are being killed.

Because I'm not an anti-choicer I do not find this "sick."

[Thafoo]

"Our society is heartless because it doesn't immediately arrest and detain these students"

[Fintanland]

WorldNetDaily blows event hugely out of proportion. Film at Eleven. Literally.

[Galloism]

What an awful and sick disregard for human life.

Why can't they play call of duty or grand theft auto like normal people?

It's equivalent. At least with this it's a balloon, not a simulated human with blood.

[Neutraligon]

Sounds like a combination of tag and pin the tail on the donkey. Would you have an issue with the activities if it had a different name?

[Gauthier]

World Net Daily, so naturally the existence of the game is being hyped up as proof of how pro-abortion activists are inhuman monsters.

Personally I was disappointed none of the players tried to pop the balloons with a Falcon Punch.

Bollocks is it. Grow a thicker skin.

I think Galloism was making that point through the oft misinterpreted medium of humour.

I think violent videogames are generally demoralizing, too. But then it depends on the message of the storyline and what sort of behavior it promotes.

It's a joke he's saying they should be ashamed of disrespecting human life and that they should be playing games that are "normal" that revolve around killing, stabbing and beating people.

[Napkiraly]

Is there an issue I'm supposed to be shocked about?

[Thafoo]

I know :/, you don't have to condescend. It was funny.

You would not like the game rapelay :\

You forgot shooting. It's not a proper game without shooting.

[Czechanada]

University students are acting silly.

That happens all across the world.

[Tubbsalot]

hey friend: maybe you should keep in mind that absolutely no living cells are being harmed in the playing of this game, which is a lot more than you can say about most games, yeah?

if you're really concerned that these students may actually start stabbing actual pregnant women in the stomach (or whatever it is, i didn't bother watching) then maybe you should consider obtaining some sort of anti-anxiety medication
