If black leaders aren't offended by what they see on MTV and hear on the radio, I don't know why this should offend them...

[ASA Vet]

the Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of St. Sabina Catholic Church, called for a boycott of Urban Outfitters.

Great idea!
Convince all the people who wouldn't shop there anyway to not shop there.

What a maroon.

Black leaders are looking for something to be "outraged" about. Get over it!

[Puppage]

Why don't they get outraged at the number black children born out of wedlock, or their poor reading skills?

[dmanLA]

They're offended because this game throws the truth in front of their face.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

I went to Urban Outfitters website and when I did a search for "Ghettopoly" I got a pop-up that said this item had been pulled due to "customer concerns". I'll bet...........

Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly and Redneckopoly

I hope Chang comes up with Trailer Parkopoly & Good Ol' Boyopoly too.

But the real money will be in the internet versions.

[SuziQ]

Sounds like those black leaders can't handle the truth!

[ARCADIA]

Black clergymen say the game, the brainchild of a Pennsylvania man, should be banned

The liberals once again display amazingly fluid principles on the First Amendment.

Sorry pal, you don't own the trademark on ghetto speak, and this maker should be able to publish his game without giving you a royalty.

[GSWarrior]

They're offended because a non-black person created it.

[isthisnickcool]

If David Chang was black (I presume he is not)would we be hearing about this?

[GeekDejure]

They're offended because a non-black person created it.

Bingopoly !!!

"You're Donna Chang!?!? You're not Chinese! I thought I was getting advice from a Chinese woman!"

[aristeides]

They've got their own site: http://www.ghettopoly.com/.

[joesnuffy]

Hope Chang comes up with a rice grinder version

[FeliciaCat]

Urban Outfitters is one of my fav stores. Cool stuff.

[Tacis]

Very clever!! Whatever the inventor of this game is paying the black pimps expressing outrage, it is well worth it. They've certainly given it great publicity and created demand amongst the only folks who would buy. What creative use of black thugery and commercial extortion! Jesse? You paying attention? Corrie? How about you?
