I read earlier that the Apple store has taken down some Civil War games as they had the Confederate flag on them - that kinda sounds like a step too far

Southern Cotton is projected as a late first round selection tonight.

Not in Germany, at least. On Steam, Wolfenstein was a disclaimer listed that it cannot be played in Germany.

I made the second after they took the original down at The Pit claiming that my use of "gay ass shirt" was homophobic. I regret not choosing my words more carefully, but they would have found another excuse.

The KKK has been granted approval for a pro Confederate flag rally in Columbia in a couple of weeks.
Apparently they don't realize that will do just the opposite of helping their cause.

TVLand has pulled The Dukes of Hazzard. I'm pretty certain if you were still watching the show the General Lee didn't offend you. :roll:
