Good thing schizophrenics don't make up a large percentage of homeless populations. They'd probably get kind of freaked out when one day everybody starts pointing phones at them.

Are we hunting The Most Dangerous Game?

I'll bet police wouldn't mind at all.

That just makes the hunt that much more interesting.

I was starting to get really offended until I remembered that it's just a farkin game and no one is hurting anyone.

But don't let that stop you...
 
2012-02-23 12:51:29 PM
Offensive without satire? Stupid.

How about a little human dignity for the more unfortunate of us in our society? I guess we can't have that, can we? I mean, it's literally the least we can do, let them have some dignity.

Be grateful it isn't you. I think you'd feel really differently if it was.

If those poor people hadn't started their class warfare against the rich, there would have been no need for this app.
 
2012-02-23 12:57:16 PM
There's nothing more hilarious than starving, homeless people freezing their asses off under an overpass. Except maybe when kids are involved. And rich assholes are pretending to kill them.

I now have a whole new category of people who should choke on an oversized cock. So I have that going for me.

No challenge, none.
Now, make it the 1%s and you got game!

Is the game called "Bum Blaster"?

Tasteless and stupid. Why didn't I think of that?

Exactly. It's like when people got all butthurt over that Halloween party that the lawfirm of Steven J Baum held where employees dressed up like the homeless and made fun of the people they kicked out of their own homes. What was the big deal? They weren't hurting anybody.
 
2012-02-23 01:00:12 PM
Not as bad as 'hobo fights', but close.
 
2012-02-23 01:01:27 PM
So the only question left is....

Which Farker created this game?
 
2012-02-23 01:03:23 PM
I knew that Hobo with a Shotgun was missing an extra sequence.

Anybody care to make an app called "Hunt the Rich" in which you play a homeless person who goes to mansions and corporate buildings to murder anyone who makes over $250,000 a year?

I'm sure nobody will be offended, and FOX News won't make a big deal of it.

You know, you're right.
I'm gonna get to work right away on "DIGNITY" where I'll spotlight the real problems of these people and show them respect and acceptance in a video game
 
2012-02-23 01:14:42 PM
Ah, yes. This must have been made by the same guy who tried to make Baby Shake a couple of years back, where the object was to shake your phone until the on-screen baby had Xes over the eyes.

/Not even kidding.

It's only fair, since there is this app for hunting them

I have a bad sense of humor (so I've been told). This is a bit much, even for me.

I like how the "Gaza" pack features a WWII German Tiger, along with an Uzi.

One of these things is not like the other.

Some guy use to go around and offer two hobos like $50 to fight each other, and the winner would get the cash. He would video tape it and sold them on the intertoobs for like $20 a pop. Some ppl thought it was in bad taste, and stopped him. It was probably during the time girls gone wild was popular, and he just wanted to cash in.

i don't see how this is a game. usually an activity has to have some kind of objective and competitive aspect for it to be considered a game.. this seems like you just take pictures of homeless people and the app introduces weapons into the pictures
 
2012-02-23 01:36:22 PM
I was hoping the app would do some sort of facial-recognition software, add a time and place stamp to the pic, and then allow you to track when and where the homeless person has been. Sort of a Where's George for hobos. That could be useful for demographics data.

I know, right?!?! But I think creating a new category for starving, homeless people to chock on an oversized cock might be going overboard. Unless you have an app for that. Then I'll take a look.

This would be an awesome idea if the intention was for people to 'hunt' the homeless person down and buy them lunch or dinner or give them a gift like a blanket or clothes.

Yeah, I think you are.

On the other hand, I know quite a few homeless who have laptops and also various programming skills. Maybe I'll approach one about putting together a similar game, where the targets are investment bankers, lawyers, government bureaucrats, smug Farkers, etc. Homeless people could play that online to pass the time. No harm, no foul, right? No one should have a prob with that.
