Fox News Wants You To Be Mad About Assassin’s Creed III’s Evil George Washington DLC - Polidicks

[IMG]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18f9c1kd0wnfujpg/xlarge.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE] Did you know that there's a video game where George Washington is evil? And that it's made by [I]the French[/I]? Yesterday, when Ubisoft released the first part in their trilogy of [URL="http://kotaku.com/5978689/assassins-creed-iiis-evil-george-washington-dlc-comes-out-on-feb-19"]downloadable content for [I]Assassin's Creed III[/I][/URL], Fox News wasn't pleased. The French? Evil George Washington? Surely somebody should be offended by this! So they posted [URL="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/02/19/french-company-releases-video-game-depicting-george-washington-as-villain-to-be/"]an article[/URL] titled "French company releases video game depicting George Washington as villain to be assassinated." Check out the first paragraph: [QUOTE]A day after the United States honored George Washington, a French software company released a video game that depicts the first president as a tyrant who hangs people and must be assassinated.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE] [url]http://kotaku.com/5985715/fox-news-wants-you-to-be-mad-about-assassins-creed-iiis-evil-george-washington-dlc[/url]

Either they had respect for presidents day or it's just a coincidence. Infact other countries don't know other countries holidays.

So what. Its nice to see alternate scenarios sometimes. What if Washington was brought back in a mechasuit thing? Like Liberty Prime except he's shouting "Death to the Brits" and "Taxation with representation".

Fox news? Mad at videogames? I am [I]shocked[/I]

"EVERYONE KNOWS EVERYONE IN AMERICAN HISTORY IS SACRED AND NEVER HAS DONE ANYTHING WRONG GOD BLESS" -Fox News

the only solution to this heinous mockery of american history is nuclear warfare the french must die

It's a fucking alternate history fiction. Give me a break.

How dare anyone have a fresh perspective on things even if it doesn't reflect reality

So-called "patriots" like Fox News disgust me in how they blow everything out of proportion, especially when they believe American history is somehow "sacred" and shouldn't be shown in a negative light. Nothing is above scrutiny or parody; NOTHING. Not even the prophet Muhammed; we take the mick out of Jesus all the time, so why should any of the other so-called prophets be immune to criticism? My guess it's something to do with certain members of that fanbase, and how they go berserk if someone doesn't show reverent respect to him 24/7. Apparently that's a thing, but I've said enough already. Long story short, shut the fuck up Fox News; you are a bunch of ignorant cunts who don't know what salt is.

George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.

[QUOTE=The mouse;39659786]George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.[/QUOTE] Yeah that's how they treat desertion in the military. It was/is standard operating procedure, not something Washington made up himself.

[QUOTE=The mouse;39659786]George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.[/QUOTE] Sometimes when you're in charge of soldiers and there is a lot at stake, you have to take measures that are not fun :P

[QUOTE=The mouse;39659786]George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.[/QUOTE] There were a lot of dicks in the war of independence. Mostly the landed aristocracy.

[QUOTE=The mouse;39659786]George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.[/QUOTE] He pardoned the first mutinous group because he understood they were acting out over legitimate grievances. But when they (the second group) rebelled... order must be maintained.

I read the article and it doesn't seem like anything over the top, really... I mean yeah there's that quote about it in the article but I'm pretty sure thats more or less what happens in the DLC. Hell, they even admit in it that its nothing worse than whats already out there, really. I'll be the first one to make fun of fox but can we do it for real reasons like that video posted above please instead of... this?

Not particularly edgy, or trying to 'get a reaction'. Just a pretty cool scenario.

From the comments: [quote]How assinine.....if it wasn't for the US of A, France would be speaking German now. [/quote] If it wasn't for the French, the US of A probably wouldn't exist right now.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;39659970]There were a lot of dicks in the war of independence. Mostly the landed aristocracy.[/QUOTE] There is a lot of dicks in war, any war.

[QUOTE=Zambies!;39660621]There is a lot of dicks in war, any war.[/QUOTE] It was worse when the aristocracy wielded power, dickishness levels were much higher

Assassins Creed 3 was made by Ubisoft Montreal. Ergo they're Canadian not French.

I thought that was Andrew Jackson,not only does i look like him,there was a cartoon that depicted him as such.

[QUOTE=The mouse;39659786]George Washington was kinda of a dick, when his men threatened to mutiny he made soldiers shoot their friends in a firing squad.[/QUOTE] It was standard pretty procedure during those times. Actually, after the war, Washington pardoned the people they caught deserting when he became president.

In fact the French started capturing and executing Americans, but John Adams believed in avoiding another war at all costs.

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;39660582]From the comments: If it wasn't for the French, the US of A probably wouldn't exist right now.[/QUOTE] Yeah and we would be speaking German instead of English. Shudder.

[QUOTE=borisvdb;39662124]Assassins Creed 3 was made by Ubisoft Montreal. Ergo they're Canadian not French.[/QUOTE] I think they took 'French-Canadian' and just removed the '-Canadian.'

TBH this addon would have worked a lot better with a president who really was a dick, like Jackson or Hoover.

[QUOTE=Moustacheman;39662590]TBH this addon would have worked a lot better with a president who really was a dick, like Jackson or Hoover.[/QUOTE] Uh no the entire point of it is that, after they won, Washington decides that being King would actually be pretty cool. It's not a biting political satire, it's a weird scenario to give you more famous historical figures to stab.

[QUOTE=DudeGuyKT;39662563]I think they took 'French-Canadian' and just removed the '-Canadian.'[/QUOTE] It's muslim and communist either way
