Amusement company president issues apology after patron complained about shooting game depicting the likeness of a black man, specifically President Barack Obama.
Here we go again, more demeaning Obama acts. Irvin Good Jr., president of a Hellertown-based amusement company has issued an apology Wednesday after a patron complained about a shooting game depicting the likeness of a black man, who appears to be President Barack Obama.According to Morning Call, Mr. Good said he did not intend to offend anyone by offering the game, called "Alien Attack," which recently appeared at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Big Time Fair in Roseto and sparked a complaint.Simply disgraceful and in poor taste. The company had no qualms about teaching children to disrespect the office of the president by shooting at an image in the likeness of Barack Obama. For the record, before all the Obama haters take offense to my position, I was very upset with the demeaning depictions of former President George W. Bush. I may have disagreed with a lot of his positions and the economic quagmire that occurred under his watch, but he was our president and deserved respect.
The game depicted a black man dressed in a suit holding a rolled up piece of paper labeled, "Health Bill." The man also sported a belt buckle fashioned after the presidential seal. Participants shot darts at targets, located on his head and heart, to score points and win a stuffed animal prize.
