Here's one to ponder this morning. A UK LAN tour has decided that one of the prizes
they are giving away for winners in their tournament will be a disabled authentic AK-47.
Obviously to symbolize the weapon involved in the combat taking place on the computers. A
large
number of panties have gotten in a bunch over this. This isnt just any old LAN event
either as
Virgin Interactive is a major
sponsor (although not for the game in particular involved).
"We apologise unreservedly for any inconvenience or
concern the offering of the AK47 as a prize may have brought or howsoever caused." He
gave his assurance that "if there is a public condemnation of our actions we will
withdraw the offer of the prize with immediate effect and substitute it with an
appropriate prize of a similar worth".
Very interesting... Thanks Choolz & Blues
