Humor on the Iraq Attack

[Dave Farber <dave () farber net>]

I would not call this humor but political speech. If it bothers you, don't
try it. If you try it and don't like it, don't yell at me.

Dave, the very best Flash Humor creation I have seen yet is a purported
video war strategy game along the lines of "Total Annihilation" that
"simulates" the Iraq attack and its aftermath.

Looks like their hosting is limping though...  a bit slow to download.

I somewhat facetiously described as...
The Iraq Attack done up as a Sims video war game.  I didn't know
you could implement Total Annihilation in Flash!
It takes about 5 min to get through it all.
I would say it lets you experiment with all the possible outcomes of a war
with Iraq.

The same author has a totally hilarious send off of the AOL.com of the
future in his Ashcroft Online site which kept me grinning quite a while.  It
worries me that some people won't get the jokes.
