Monopoly with attitude

"WAR ON TERROR, THE BOARDGAME: It's got suicide bombers, political kidnaps and intercontinental war. It's got filthy propaganda, rampant paranoia and secret treaties and the Axis of Evil is a spinner in the middle of the board.

Playing it will bring out the nastiest, greediest, darkest, most paranoid aspects of your character. It's all great family fun."

Spotted in the window of an Amnesty International bookshop.

The controversy over the game (launched in 2006) passed me by, but apparently it was condemned by the police, the Daily Mail, Andrew Lansley MP and Mrs Trellis from North Wales. Supporters include Amnesty, the Imperial War Museum, and The Grauniad.

I rest my case.
