[url=http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20100113/tod-hitler-drinking-game-mocks-the-holoc-870a197.html]Source[/url] [quote]A student drinking game which mocks the Holocaust and encourages players to dress as Adolf Hitler has been described as "sick beyond belief" by war veterans. Hitler - The Drinking Game, involves students downing drinks on the turn of cards laid out in the shape of a Swastika. Players are required to make Nazi salutes and "interrogate" other players. There is also a section called The Holocaust where players have to "down in one" a pint glass filled with spirits. The game has its own Facebook group created by Huddersfield University students Nicholas Rowley and Anthony Pike. In the group both describe themselves as "Fuhrers". The group currently has 12,000 members. Those who submit pictures of themselves playing the game are promoted to Nazi "officers". Students have also posted pictures of themselves with moustaches in the style of Adolf Hitler. One member suggested Bailey's liqueur should be mandatory, because: "The Holocaust concludes with necking a Jew's brain." RAF veteran Alistair Harris from Gloucestershire, said: "It's a disgrace. There's no other way to describe it." Retired Wing Commander Mr Harris, 87, who served with the RAF from 1941 to 1976, added: "These people studying at universities are meant to be the future of our country, what hope do we have? "Many of them will have grandparents and great-grandparents who fought and died protecting this country from the Nazis. It's diabolical." Michael Barrie, former chairman of the Holocaust Survivors Associations, said: "It is horrifying any amusement of game can be associated with an event that saw around 11 million people killed." Professor Peter Slee, deputy vice-chancellor at Huddersfield University, said inquiries would begin into the involvement of students at the university. "We are shocked to hear about this game and extremely disturbed at the allegations that students at this university have been taking part in it. "We will be investigating these allegations, which we take very seriously, and will take appropriate action once these investigations are complete."[/quote] [img]http://d.yimg.com/i/ng/ne/skynews/20100113/21/2932138946-hitler-drinking-game-mocks-holocaust.jpg[/img]
I've seen the rules. Looks pretty fun. Except it's basically a National Socialist edition of King Beer. Which was there first.
breaking news: college students do something dumb
That sounds like a fun game. If it was about communism no one would give a fuck.
People need a sense of humor.
this is why the only drinking game should be drink your drink, refill it, drink the new drink.
What? I can see the point of the veterans, they fought for their freedom and ours and they get thanked with [I]this?[/I]
I hate people who overreact! It's just a game. People need to get a sense of humour. Especially Americans. You guys need to learn to mock yourselves a little sometimes, practically every other country does. We british are the kings of it!
you think that's terrible, just wait until you see my 9/11 card game :buddy: [editline]10:16PM[/editline] [QUOTE=T-Bag-T;19614362]I hate people who overreact! It's just a game.

Overly complicated drinking games aren't fun because your focus on the game kills your buzz. This is why quarters will ALWAYS reign supreme.
Bet this is the BNP's favorite game down the pub.

I bet the veterans have done a hitler and thought it was funny at one point in their lives

:hitler:
[QUOTE=Hunterbrute;19614319]People need a sense of humor.[/QUOTE] Yeah, WW2 veterans and holocaust victims need to loosen up about that. It happened like, so long ago
It's tasteless as hell but I don't think they should make a big deal out of it. You're just letting more people know about the game that way.
[QUOTE=pie_is_good;19614921]It's tasteless as hell but I don't think they should make a big deal out of it. You're just letting more people know about the game that way.[/QUOTE] This is true. I was never really a fan of drinking games, I usually just drink until I'm pissed, less thinking involved that way.
Is there a Irishman with a bag full of dynamite and guns to stop the Nazis?
[QUOTE=TH89;19614892] It happened like, so long ago[/QUOTE] As a matter of fact it did happen quite some time ago, I think its time for people to just let it go and move on with their lives and stop living in the past. Who gives a shit if some college kids do stupid shit and mock Hitler and the holocaust. People need to lighten up and stop taking this kind of stuff seriously.
[QUOTE=DuncanFrost;19614376]The veterans are Brits you dope[/QUOTE] Where the [B]FUCK [/B]is the Zing rating when you need it? Well if they are all Hitlers, this is easy to sort out. Just send the Russian army over there and they'll and kill themselves.
I play a drinking game where you all sit in a circle and essentially the rule is that you shout drink at a person and he has to take a drink. and likewise with everyone else. simple and joyous. but i might give the whole Adolph thing a go.
It's still mocking the death of 10 million people.

[QUOTE=TH89;19615027]The people it happened to?[/QUOTE] Oh so its alright to make jokes and laugh about 9/11, the London bus bombing, Vietnam, but its not ok to laugh about something that happened over 60 years ago. Great logic.
I don't get why this would be offensive
At least they're not saying the holocaust didn't happen. :buddy:
[QUOTE=Levithan;19615173]At least they're not saying the holocaust didn't happen. :buddy:[/QUOTE] The holocaust didn't happen nothing ever happened everything is a lie :tinfoil:
