Now I have seen everything shock

Haha... funny, but I'm a bit open-minded... I can see where the people would be upset however.

Good thread twister.

it came out a while ago and got banned, i thought it was funny, sure its offensive, but honestly, its in jest

Doesn't sound like my cup of tea. Give me good old classic Monopoly any day.

Still it's a bit of humor, a blunt somewhat artless bit of satire. A bit over the top maybe, a bit tactless sure. To much stereotyping. However some people who supposedly live the "ghetto/gangsta" life say such things about themselves (often false) and joke about it all, but someone else does it and they get all angry.

I don't see anything wrong with it. And when you think about it, it's not exactly the most creative idea ever, which only makes it mildly amusing. All it did was take an existing and extremely popular idea and parody it. Been done thousands of times in all streams of products and media.

A "popular idea" shock

I heard about this controversy about 2 years back and thought it humorous. But humorous in a way that if it were another race like mine or anyone else's, it would still be funny to me. Some people are just way to sensitive. And that's on top of having no sense of humour at all.

We live in an ultra-sensitive society where saying "Merry Christmas" may get you into some type of trouble. Be it business wise or personal.

It's laughable.

I agree. I think it should be mass produced and sold in the lobby of any theater that plays any Eddie Murphy movie. If black people are so balls-to-the-wall about their culture being their own and theirs only, then they should shut the f8ck up when products like this come out.

finally something that really lets everyone outside of the ghetto understand their plight Its awesome humor, who would like a new game bury the *igger nope probably not, so this sells and actually gets acceptance lame.

That's the shit i play it all the time they coming out with ukuuza monoplya about chinnese people. Then polite monoply suppose to be about white people monoply and they gonna start selling ghettomonoply again they gonna updated it more with funny stuff.
