Hide the Kids, It’s Landmine Soccer

I’m all in favor of the United Nations. After all, they were my team at the World Cup. I’m also in favor of landmine awareness. I’ve worked in countries where innocent people are needlessly killed by the buggers every day. Still, I must express my displeasure with Kofi and the gang for making this advert geared towards a U.S. audience. Doesn’t soccer get a bad enough name in the country without parents having to worry about their kids being blown up on the pitch while playing in suburbia? Once they see this ad and their children playing the new sniper football video game, you can bet that parents everywhere will be signing their offspring up for something much, much safer like little league baseball or cliff diving.
