CULTURE WAR? WHAT @#$%! CULTURE WAR?

A press kit for a new video game called "Rumble Roses" came through the office the other day.

What is it?

A wrestling game featuring scantily clad women. (The morbidly prurient can see screen shots here.) Who the hell thinks up this crap?

I'm guessing this game is aimed at guys for whom Maxim isn't nearly interactive enough.

The press release came with a Beauty Kit, including this mirror you can put on your monitor. You know, in case someone comes up behind you while you're watching scantily clad fake women wrestle in mud.

That can be such a faux pas.

What else is in the alleged beauty kit?

A packet that allows you to make your own mud.

Good thing they put the warning on there. They might have been sued.

This tube allegedly contained lip balm.

Where did they expect people would be playing this? On the slopes in Aspen? Crossing the Gobi Desert?

Call her Suzi "Hammer Lock" Chapstick.

My stick is chapped just reading about it. Can't wait to see the game itself.
