I don't know if anyone has heard of this, but apparently there's a video game set to launch this month where...get this...

"Game players have to live the day-to-day life of an immigrant teen. The teens are constantly being chased by immigration officers, while making moral/consequential decisions and answering myth & fact quizzes about current immigration policies.

If the player chooses or answers incorrectly, he/she increases his or her chances of being thrown into detention. Once in detention, the player endures both physical separation from his/her family and unjust conditions while awaiting, often for unknown amounts of time, the random outcome of his/her case."

The game is called "ICED" (I Can Escape Deportation). Not sure what day they're going to release, but it will be downloadable for free online.

Actually, the blog I found the link on said it was made by a human rights group, which makes me think it's probably intended to raise awareness in a creative way...still, WEIRD.

It sounds interesting. Even if the Alitards play it in order to mock us, it would at least show them the realities of our situation...

Well, ALIPACs, scientifically called Inbredious Bigotrous, are a type of insect, vermin if you will. They tend to have a pasty white color to their exoskeletons, and exude pungent odors similar to cow manure.

They are a non-native, invasive species, that have infested the U.S. They were first introduced approximately 200 years ago after stowing away "illegally" in sacks of potatoes on the nina, pinta, but not the santa maria. Their presence was/is attributed to the destruction of Native American tribes across the country.

For centuries, they have multiplied, through inbreeding, something environmentalists and biologists assume will likely lead to the species demise.
