Google recently pulled its 'Angry Trayvon' app from the Google Play Store.
Yes, this game surrounded the slain teen, Trayvon Martin. The 'Angry Trayvon' character gathers weapons, wallets, and commits murder all while wearing his powerful hoodie.
The game creators apologized, arguing that the game was "by no means a racist game." Right.
Tacky, stupid, and disgusting are just a few of the words that come to mind when we think about the people thought this was a good idea or even an acceptable creation. Granted, we all know that the quest for the almighty dollar can often override thought, reason, and tact but this is just wrong.
Shame, shame, Google. Read more here.
The New York Times Campaign Stops blog analyzed many of the political Google searches, which revealed some interesting [to say the least] things about many voters.
- 5,000 people a month ask about Mitt Romney's underwear
- "Paul Ryan Shirtless" is nine times more popular a search than "Paul Ryan budget"
- Red
states are more likely to search for "Barack Hussein Obama" whereas
blue states search more frequently for "Willard Mitt Romney"
- 1 in 100 searches for Obama on election day in 2008 also included "KKK" or "nigger"
- "Michelle Obama ugly" receives three times as many searches as "Michelle Obama beautiful"
Hmm...
