I think the game looks pretty interesting actually. I'll probably purchase it.

It's pretty sad when a bunch of people can't help being hysterical over a murder that happened 40 years ago. Yeah, anytime a president is killed, it's a shock and an outrage. But that was 40 years ago, there's no need for this outrage. His death has been capitalized on by cable channels, movie makers, authors, and whatnot for 40 years. Now a game comes along that explores the physics and mechanics behind it and everyone craps their pants.

Lighten up!

There ALREADY is a Ted Kennedy simulator (sort of). Play this flash animation game... (control movement left and right with the mouse and try to get the lil' drunkard home where he can sleep it off and then call police to report the accident...)

Cool site.

I made it to 8 meters and that was it.

Very funny, Deutschland uber alles!!!

I played it (so sue me). It is an interesting little mini-game, especially if you read any books or seen any documentaries about the Kennedy Assassination. Obviously, the developers are banking on shock value and negative press to carry the day.
