The Year's 10th Most Offensive Video Game

I couldn't find a decent screenshot for it because it's one of these ready-to-roll sealed-in-plastic monochrome handhelds made in China with publisher info MIA. So here's the "year's 10th most offensive video game" blog-side, along with the original story by Paul Koepp for the Jersey Journal.

(The other nine? Get 'em here.)

Title: Bush vs. Laden
For: Standalone handheld
By: Unknown
From: Unknown

Let’s take a bunch of offensive imagery related to September 11, 2001 like the twin towers and the president of the United States as an anti-Semite squaring off with a pugilistic Osama bin Laden and cram it into a $39.99 plastic handheld (with a $39 discount!) and hey-presto, it’s a game! Okay, I’ve never set eyes or thumbs on “Bush vs. Laden,” but it certainly has Jersey City residents in a tizzy. According to The Jersey Journal, the 99-cent handheld game includes an anti-Semitic caricature of Bush as a dove holding an assault rifle ready to blast a smiling bin Laden who’s holding an airplane in one hand and a bomb in the other. Said one shopper “I wouldn’t let my child play that. Bush would lose anyway. He still can’t find [bin Laden].”
