Playing BF2 conditions you to be terrorist

so they say (http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/Technology/Story?id=2105128&page=1).

What if terrorists took an American video game, twisted it into an anti-American video game and posted it on insurgent Web sites, complete with a splashy high-tech advertisement? And what if the goal of the video game was to attract new, young terrorists and condition them to kill U.S soldiers?

The Pentagon testified that is exactly what happened with a video game called "Battlefield 2: Armored Fury." But the maker of the "advertisement" says he was only making a spoof video out of his favorite game — not recruiting terrorists.



ghaaaah, humans are $%@#ing stupid :(

I predict that people who hate me would spend all their time trying to kill me in a virtual world. All their lofty goals of cleansing the world of americans would take a backseat for just a little bit. Just untill they got their fix.

A little later, they might decide to create some content for the game world. Even if you aren't putting on a black hood and riding the toyota down to the monkey bars in the dessert to practice exterminating americans, they would still be contributing to the cause by creating something sure to inspire others to kill americans.

Once they have completed the single player game, they would discover multiplayer. Surely that would really spurn their bloodlust because now they can actually kill real americans, virtually.

It's even more fun with the mod that calculates how many virgins allah will give you based on each american you kill. 2 virgins for a headshot!

Frustrated by being p0wned by LPAIs (low ping american infidels), they would get a job and invest their money in a Phat Pipe. This would spurn their local economy and voila! world peace!

I endorse this plan :) But the question is whether playing the MEC side in BF2 can get you charged with 'training for jihad'. This goes real well with the Whipper Snapper thread :)

I can tell you that i have been conditioned to pull grenades right out of peoples hands with my zero point energy gun. Thoose terrorists better look out!

Also, you can get a better shot at them if i flip them over.

I think "terrorist" is going to be the new hip slang word for "cool" or "wicked". I can totally see kids saying stuff like "Dude, that's so totally terrorist!" or "Playing BF2 conditions you to be terrorist."
