P.C. - With A Smile!
Here it finally is: A submission for all ya tree-huggin´, horse-kissin´,hippie environmentalists (no offense intended? I´m not sure myself *g*) that actually is FUNNY!
Every once in a while on this portal there is a flash with a good intention, e.g. to protest against corrupt polititians, the oil industry, you name it. Some of these submissions are well drawn and animated and are overall very professionally done. Their problem is: They are no fun at all! Their authors drag on and on about how bad the world is and how the corporations (or whoever) are destroying us or the rain forest or what not. And nobody listens.
The Authors of THIS game, however, know how to do it: If you care to read the little boxes of text (you don´t even need the old 190 IQ to do that...), you will see that this fun game is as anticapitalistic and environmentalist as it could be.
But in this case, the happy, family-friendly presentation with all the little gimmicks and "uh-oh"-sounds makes you get involved into the matter sooner and deeper than you might have thought:
-Why do these stupid natives have to settle there? I need COWS!
-Why, Bill at the register isn´t happy? Too bad for him: Bye Bill, hello Bob!
-And, of course, all the little icons you click at HQ that make you undermine the free press, politics, judicial system, in short: the democratic society as a whole!
So, to make a long story short: This truly is a stroke of genius and one of the most meaningful, one of the most anarchistic and, at the same time, one of the very funny things here on Newgrounds.
Whew, that IS long. Guess I need a nice, juicy burger now...
