It's amazing how many constantly dredge up real events to try to confuse people with the fictional events of games such as Manhunt 2. Failing to suggest that their moral superiority is sufficient to demand an end to the First Amendment in regards to fictional material, such individiauls will constantly use (and thereby abuse) the tragedies of individuals, families, and communities to confuse their audience into an additional sense of outrage at the fictional events.

While weak minded, ignorant individuals will easily buy into such nonsense at the wink of an eye and a nudge (and sometimes not even a nudge), it might be easier for such "authors" to suggest to their other readers that they should not eat or drink for 6 days and not sleep for 4 days/nights while listening to subliminal tapes that repeat over and over " is my God. I follow my God blindly in all things."

Even at an ABC News areticle, there are actually a couple of commenters, not sure if they are really serious, bitching that the game actually should offend mentally ill folks or that the game does harm to the mental health profession.

The Escapist has an article at the San Jose Mercury News ( [URL]http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2007/10/what_parents_should_really_do_about_manhunt_2_make_their_own_decision.html[/URL] ) goes after the so-called "watchdog" groups. But maybe he should be taking a few pot shots at the author of The Republican article as even that author implies that alarms should be raised (wow, an alarmist who admits being an alarmist. will wonders never cease?).
