Ghettopoly? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight - Page 2

Rudey · #1 10-09-2003, 12:58 PM

I'd like to play a Greek version too. I can see it now. I end up going "pig hunting" at the end of a party on saturday night. The stupid freshman sorority girl does the walk of shame At 7AM Sunday morning (I charge her rent for doing the walk of course). I have my pancakes, get my lift on, and do some volunteer work to make up for it. Then I totally brag about bagging a hot chick who isn't quite hot at meeting.

-Rudey
--High-five! Anyone else wanna play?

I'm just saying, it'd be funny to play on one of those days.

Personally, I would never buy that game. But I guess free speech does allow the game to be made? And, I would perhaps boycot the stores that do sell the game but then I also realize that every business has a right to make money.

yes I think this is beyond offensive but i'm not exactly sure yet who I'm more pissed at. The producer, the stores, etc.

Has anyone actually seen this Mr. Chang?

If not, then i think it's a pretty racist statement to assume that he's Asian just because of his last name.

You don't know, he could have been Changopoulos and they shortened his name going through Ellis Island.

Something to think about.

BTW, The SNu's would own the drinking beer part of Greekopoly, that or we'd obsess with how to beat those damn sigmachis.

Greekopoly

You SN crush rejected you for an XYZ. Spend all afternoon in your room crying then spend $600 at the local Coach Store on a new purse and pair of shoes. Oh, the high cost of rejection.

Interesting comments from some ofyou....

I'll keep them in mind the next time some of you start whining when the next thread of.............

" ____________ is making Greeks look bad" or

"___________is giving Greeks a bad image".

is started.

I don't whine about that crap. I know that we Greeks cause most of our own problems. Just like inbred hicks in arkansas make all white people look bad. Just like poor, inner city folks that steal or sell drugs make their people look bad.

If we can't laugh at ourselves and poke fun of ourselves, what's the point?

361 minutes I had to spend truly contemplating, because believe it or not, I agree, lol.

I also think that it is cool to poke fun at ourselves or whatever. But this game is not a good idea in my opinion. To make fun of stereotypes is one thing, to perpetuate them is quite another (and I think this game does the latter).

btw, UF Pike, I figured you would chime in.

AGREED!!!!!!!!!! In order for barriers to truly be broken down, we all must learn to RELAX and laugh at ourselves

Life is good

Who said I was talkiung about you? Feeling guilty??

Please keep in mind that THIS lil' statement here justifies NADA !!! It is, in fact one MAIN reasons why this game is not a good idea for ANYBODY! AfAm or anybody else.

If you want to disrespect yourself or fraternity, that's YOU, but don't try to pin it on this analogy in order to make it ok. One does nto justify the other.

MereMere21 · #13 10-09-2003, 03:39 PM

at the risk of being completely a** raped on the posts here - I thought it was funny when I saw the blurb about it (before the story, just the headline)

Then again, I'm the same person that would buy the White Trash Monopoly where you have trailers instead of houses if it existed. Actually that Greekopoly might be amusing as well.

I know I have no reason to be offended by this Ghettopoly though. So really I have no position except to say that I saw the story about it on CNN.

I've seen him. He is Asian.

There is, though, a difference between laughing at ourselves and laughing at others.
