One of my favourite maps has been removed because some people got their panties in a bunch over some words

Why didn't they just remove that poster instead of the whole damn map?

People are way too sensitive. That's hardly the worst thing I've seen in a public restroom.

Everyone walks on egg shells when Muslims are offended. Ridiculous.

Sadly, it has come down to that. I don't think that most Muslim gamers would even care. But, Activision is obviously playing it safe - lest we forget what happened as a result of that YouTube video several weeks ago

I think he meant "Game" content.

Just FYI ... the embassy attack had nothing to do with that YouTube video. The Administration admitted recently that the youtube video was a red herring. It was a coordinated terrorist attack, not a protest about a video nobody watched. Does the average citizen even get youtube in some of these hell holes?

As for this ... people are oversensitive. But, it doesn't really matter all that much. They're bringing it back once they fix it. It matters more if it affects real content -- if, for instance, the new Medal of Honor game scrubbed the Taliban as an enemy for fear of bothering Taliban-sympathizers.

I'm fully aware of the circumstances behind the Al Queda lead embassy attack. But, I was referring to the mass protests which involved the burning of American flags and calls for the execution of the film director.

Judging from the IQ of the average protestor there, I doubt that many of them even know what YouTube is, let alone, the Internet.
