TURKISH GAME LETS YOU SLAP SARKOZY

A Turkish gaming website unveiled today an Internet-based game that
lets you slap French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The video game was uploaded to the website hours after
a piece of legislation criminalizing the denial of Armenian genocide
claims was approved by the French Senate.

The game, titled “Slap Sarkozy,” lets you control an on-screen hand
with your mouse and slap an unsuspecting Sarkozy standing in front
of a backdrop of Paris scenery as hard as possible.

In the definition section of the game, the developers ask players,
“Don’t you think Sarkozy deserves a good slap in the face?” and gives
a brief account of the recent political developments that led to the
approval of the “genocide denial” law.

The game comes in seven different languages; unsurprisingly, French
is not one of them.

The game calculates how fast you hit Sarkozy and gives the result
in kilometers per hour. Any slap that falls below 200 km/h is deemed
“unsuccessful” by the game.
