Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is speaking out against an Android mobile phone video game, Dog Wars, which allows the players to participate in dogfighting.
“I’ve come to learn the hard way that dogfighting is a dead-end street,” Vick said. “Now, I am on the right side of this issue, and I think it’s important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app.”
The creators of the game, have defended their product by saying, it’s nothing but a video game and isn’t meant as an endorsement of real dogfighting.
“Just because something is illegal in real life in certain countries, does not mean it is illegal to make a song, movie, or video game about it,” that’s what the creators of the game, who are trying to make money on it are saying.
Google had given the okay for these “DogWars” apps.
We also need to ban the who let the dogs out song by the Baha Men. Its inhuman to allow your pet to become a stray animal.
Is there apps that allow you to build up kilos of coke too soon become a drug kingpin? Get off your phone anyway and go outside for a walk.
erock – there absolutely is. There was a video game called ‘drug wars’ that was highly propegated around – for the platform none other than TI83 (scientific calculators, required by many high schools for math classes!). And that was back in the late 90s…..
T83 brings memorys of math equations.Disgusting.
Some things just dont need to be out there for kids. Thats over ther top as far as im concerned but it wont ever stop. These nerdbags making this stuff need some kinda life.
erock – agreed on all accounts
