Uh-oh. Will that get me in trouble with the Feds? How about if it’s at a fair hosted by a Catholic church, is that better? Pennsylvania does it again!
The LA Times had a little item on this that had me laughing so hard I had to investigate further. (Why do I even bother to search latimes.com for the article? Man, their website STILL sucks for search.)
From Lehigh Times:
A game called “Alien Attack” at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Big Time celebration in Roseto encouraged players to shoot darts at the head and heart of an image of a suited black man holding a health care bill and wearing a presidential seal.
Irvin L. Good Jr., president of Hellertown-based Goodtime Amusements, said it wasn’t supposed to be Obama.
“We’re not interpreting it as Obama. The name of the game is ‘Alien Leader.’ If you’re offended, that’s fine, we duly note that.”
Don’t you love it?!
Our Lady pastor the Rev. Jim Prior said:
“We’re used to this kind of bigotry and prejudice, and we abhor it but it’s the way of the world,” Prior said. “Even the Divine Father himself is vilified in today’s culture.”
Oh, my gah, this priest is comparing Obama to God!! And WAY to change the subject, Rev. Prior!
