Mario Meets Newsweek
Upset because the government didn’t consult you on how to spend the money from the recently passed $787 Billion stimulus bill? Thanks to a new internet game from Addicting Games, you no longer need a fancy title like “Senator” or “Representative” in order to decide who gets Government help.
“Trillion Dollar Bailout” allows you to dish out sacks of government cash – or a swift backhand – to needy corporate executives and struggling homeowners. Save enough homeowners and you win the game. Bailout too many greedy businessmen and the economy tanks even further.
Now You Can Dish Out the Stimulus Just Like The Feds!
It’s the latest in a growing internet fad: social commentary through video games. Think Mario meets Newsweek. From throwing loafers at George Bush to landing a plane in the Hudson River, if it has been in the headlines, it will probably become a video game.
Got a minute to waste? Try your hand at Trillion Dollar Bailout. (Disclaimer: Don’t worry – “Addicting Games” is just a name. I can assure you that there is nothing addicting about their games, especially if you have an attention span of more than five seconds).
