WorldNetDaily, as always, tackles the important issues of the day:

The online version of a popular board game from many Americans' childhood includes an option for players to choose homosexual marriage and child-rearing as a way of life.

Through the Shockwave.com website, even children can download and play a free trial version of The Game of Life, the first game ever created by Mr. Milton Bradley in 1860.

The player's first option in the online version is to choose a persona based on pictures that clearly depict men and women. Shortly thereafter, the game invites players to choose a spouse, regardless of the potential spouse's sex.

They go on to detail a prudish reader's and their thrilling exchange with a message board about the game. Between this and Joseph Farah's recent Wikipedia obsession, I fully expect to see WND stories sourced with nothing but youtube comments.

But I digress. They not only are worried that the online game has not enacted a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The analog version raises concerns as well:

The original 1860 Milton Bradley game, known as the Checkered Game of Life, was completely redesigned in 1960, bearing almost no resemblance to the original. The new game board included the winding track, spinner and plastic buildings familiar to many.

The redesign also included car game pieces that could be filled with plastic pegs representing a player's growing "family." The board game did not prevent players in any way from placing two pink or two blue pegs in the front seat, thus depicting a homosexual couple.

How does one prevent that, pray tell? Perhaps wire the cars to cause an instant explosion if someone tries to put two pegs of the same color in the front seat? Better little Johnny lose a finger than think two genitalia-less pieces of plastic are getting it on outside of a marriage covenant between one man and one woman.

"I went back to the web site and left a very respectful review of the game just stating that this kind of thing should be left out of kids' games, and the Shockwave.com administrator removed my post, stating it was inappropriate," the mother told WND. "I had no idea how insidious they were being with pushing the homosexual agenda."

HAHAHAHAHA!!! I have to remember to add that to my agenda.

2:45 pm - Be insidious.

3:00 pm - COCKTAILS!

On my agenda being insidious comes after cocktails. And gay sex.

"two blue pegs"

That's what I used to do when I played as a kid

I loved that game. We used to snip the ends off of some of the pegs so the "children" would be smaller!
