Drunk Dude We all know beer is so “wrong.” In fact it is the most forbidden thing to even look at this country if you are minor. Unless you are one the millions of minors who attend college and play “ilegal” games of beer pong. Maybe these games should be played in dark basement a la Blood Sport with million of business men betting on the winner. Reality though is not that complicated and it seems many politicians to a blind eye to the so called enemy of beer. A game that was to be on top of my list to download was savagely raped by conservatite thought today. Beer Pong, Frat Party Games will have to be overhauled to see release. According to the Associated Press, the game was mistakenly given a a rating that would allow players as young as 13 to play. Although the creator of the game JV Studios, claims there are no depictions of people drinking beer, the mere mention of the word has lazy politicians up in arms, hoping to garb some spotlight by speaking out against such dangers of digital binge drinking. Didn’t the real beer pong, which many many college students including myself, exist before this game? The good news is that game will still see some kind of mutilated release, the bad, well lazy parenting wins again. The full story here.

Beer Pong Gets Wiied, Pero La Gente Se Asusta.

Beer Pong Americans sure love to protest, high gas prices, the War in Iraq, Obama’s Pastor’s comments, and beer pong. JVGames has announced Beer Pong: Frat Party Games for Wii Ware, Nintendo’s download service. As you may expect, anything with the word “beer” and “Wii” in the same sentence is going to have a soccer mom rally up her troops and bake a cake of protest.

According to the Fair Fax County Times, moms are some what upset at the T (13+) rating the game received. This rating, according to Greater Herndon Community Coalition leader, Lisa Lombardozzi, “encourages younger kids to emulate the patterns of college-age kids.”
Considering many of us don’t graduate college until we are at least 21, it seems to me under-age drinking is taking place with out Wii the enabler around. Luckily for us press, angry protesters always seem to get a response, this is what JV Games spokesman Vince Valenti said on the matter:

“I think it’s kind of funny. The game promotes the sport of beer pong. We are not advocating drinking any more than watching cartoons or watching the TV show ‘Cheers,’ or even going bowling or to a baseball game… if anything, you’re going to be drinking less. Because you are too busy playing the game, trying to beat your opponent, to be constantly picking up a beer and drink.”

For all those interested in getting their controversial drink on, the video trailer of Beer Pong: Frat Party Games after the jump.

Muy pronto el Wii tendrá lo que muchos de los que nos encanta la farra y la bebida estábamos esperando, juegos a loco para el Wii. Adelante el vídeo, pero primero hay que comentar que, según Games Politics, muchas madres ya han expresado su enojo con este juego.Como dijo Celia Cruz, “la vida es un carnaval,” entonces porque no tomarse una copita en nombre de los vídeo juegos!
