Lineage II это многопользовательская игра последнего поколения.
В игре одновременно могут участвовать несколько тысяч персонажей
контролируемых людьми. Средневековый, сказочный мир,
наполненный чудесами и опасностями, монстрами и героями откроется для Вас.
По ходу игры Ваш персонаж набирается опыта,
и ему становятся доступны новые умения, оружие, заклинания.
В вашей воле быть магом или воином, проводить время в боях с монстрами
или окунуться в мир политики кланов. В Lineage II Вы сможете поучаствовать в
битвах с драконами, когда только слаженные действия команды из нескольких
десятков человек могут гарантировать успех, сможете осаждать замки,
либо оказаться в рядах защитников стен, завести своего собственного птенца
дракона и вырастить его до огромного летающего монстра, на спине которого
сможете летать по миру.

SATIRE or SIMILE - “THE MAILMAN PAID THE NEW YORKER!”
“My little nephew came to me and he said, ‘Uncle, what’s the difference between a hypothetical question and a realistic question?’” Mac said. “I said, I don’t know, but I said, ‘Go upstairs and ask your mother if she’d make love to the mailman for $50,000.’”
Bernie, was it a premonition or coincidental? What a way to let ‘em have it! Who’s laughing now? LOL …jokes on you New Yorker! LOL

The problem is that people who actually believe this kind of garbage about the Obamas won’t get the joke. They will think the New Yorker agrees with them.

The wingnuts who believe this kind of garbage don’t read the New Yorker.

Are people really arguing for a “lowest-common-denominator” political discourse? Sounds like.

Whether they are the best or the worst, it speaks to the level of those that did not reach this point in the process given the past candidates.

I would shutter to think of where we would be, if those that lost to these two candidates were where they are now. As a gentleman, I will concede the process will never appease the whole. At the same time one or more segments of the population will feel somehow slighted or misrepresented. Those who support these two candidates will at times exude arrogance and lack of respect for the candidate(s)that did not reach this point. Which will continue to fuel the debate, but the subtle undertones of bigotry should not be “fair game” to any supporting group.

More education, PLEASE! Before commenting.

Dave L. While the core of your comments are true. I find the parallel a little more than apples and oranges. The sole purpose of a cartoon of this type is to feel into the fear and hatred the less educated hold for a candidate that “is different”. Show me a cartoon of Bush on ANY magazine cover with a KKK sheet, hood & a picture in the background depicting his respect for Hitler or David Duke, then your total point is made. I’m in no way saying that Obama is immune to jokes and satire, but there is a limit to which it is satire and it turns to subtle, overt racism. Sometimes the obvious IS in fact REALITY.

First of all this isn’t racial it’s just plain tacky. Let’s see if next week there is a cover with McCaing touturing people and Cindy with a beer hanging out of a race car.
