Cuba, Fidel Castro Targeted in ‘Call of Duty’
The Cuban government has apparently taken umbrage with a new video game, “Call of Duty: Black Ops,” which racked up $360 million in sales during its first 24 hours of release. In the game, players are asked to assassinate Fidel Castro on orders from President John F. Kennedy pre-Bay of Pigs.
The Cuban state-controlled media called the game:
“‘doubly perverse’ by glorifying assassination and stimulating ‘sociopathic attitudes in North American children and adolescents’…’What the United States couldn’t accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually.'”
Ouch. There’s a video below for more information.
