Pure Class

In case you were wondering if you should buy a video game where you are a criminal, spy or a space marine fighting aliens what a tough decision, well I have the answer: JFK Reloaded, a game that allows players to fill Oswald's shoes and assassinate President Kennedy.

In fact this wonderful game (or historic educational tool) even offers a cash prize to win:

"Your shots will need to have exactly the same timing and cause exactly the same damage as the shots described in the Warren Commission Report in order to score the maximum possible total.

Note that you are NOT obliged to enter the competition in fact, after you have unlocked JFK Reloaded you can have as many practice runs as you like, and you will have all the feedback and action-replay tools that are available for competition runs."

While I think the first amendment protects something like this, I have a hard time believing our nation's founders really thought we would be playing games involving murdering one of our Presidents over and over again for some perverse sense of fun.
