    Tarik -

    A thought struck me the other day and it goes like this. The past few months have been very political in this joint. And with joint I mean website. Just so you know. I wasn't aware of that (let's call it blindly staring into the void called politics) untill a few weeks ago. One of the students @ Inholland brought this to my attention when he was pitching a communication plan to us he and his fellow students had written as an assignment. Whatever happened to pop culture? Why not use that, he asked us? The guy had a point. So: the time has come to chat about that.

    He used the example of a game that wasn't released very long ago: Fallout 3. It takes place in post-apocalyptic Washington DC round 2213. As you can guess the city has been torn to shreds by war. It turns out that the game also features a nuclear bomb. A bombs called 'Fat Man'. Right! Just like the bomb that fell on Nagasaki in World War 2.

    Is that unfriendly towards the Japanese people? ...
