The Vatican created a task force to prevent sinners from being captured and put on trial according to the secular states’ laws. You have to control the operations: estabilish a code of silence and hide the scandal until the media attention moves elsewhere!”

I am also shocked by the premise that a business' bottom line can be benefited by taking ruthless advantage of money-saving opportunities. SHOCKED.

SHOCKED.

Wish, the builder of the games can do a game like this for Donald Trump construction business.

The music video was made for an ironic, anti fast food chain song called "Burger Ranch" after Israel's own answer to McDonald's. It invlvoes happy meal toys, blood, and jumpy pop music. check it out here: http://www.idofluk.com/burger.htm Speaking of a bloody happy meal, in 2001 I made a music video for “Ping Pong”, the band that represented Israel in the 2000 Eurovision contest and who, as an act of rebellion, waved Syrian flags and called for peace on stage (it was an honor to work with them).

Either way, I remember playing this a long while ago and it was awesome; but it was also pretty difficult to compromise enough so that you win. I think it catches the McIndustry very well. has there been an update to the game since its original release? i’m wondering the reason of why that site is posting about it now since it’s been out for many years.

The challenge would be to game the system so that you wind up with a job, a living wage, and health benefits, if you're a worker; or so that you can afford to put clothes on your kids' backs without creating an economy wherein they'll be ever less likely to be able to do the same for their kids, if you're a consumer. Or so that you can stop attempts by people with a sense of economic justice to stop you being obscenely rich billionaires and make you merely digustingly rich billionaires, if you're one of Sam Walton's kids. Then there's the whole Chinese factories angle.... I’d love to see a game that skewers WalMart the same way.
