Last week I was able to get a sneak peek and play the latest game to capitalize on a successful franchise -- Desperate Housewives. Planned for release this fall on the PC, the game is really nothing more than a stripped down Sims with a TV show name and premise slapped on it.Here were my highlights as I walked down Wisteria Lane:
- Took a shower with my pixelated naked character
- Tried to go to the bathroom -- no luck
- Changed into my Desperate Housewives jumpsuit
- Went outside, planted a flower
- Went to the neighbors house, had sex with male neighbor
- Went outside, found another man, had sex with him
- Tried to have sex with female neighbor, but denied

The world makes no sense.

Indeed, if the object was for guys to have sex with women and not a game popular with women(like the Sims), it would get an M or an AO rating. America is sexist against men.

That's odd, I have a job with women, and that's not what I've noticed.
I'm working at a local McDonald's to help pay for my education. At this particular store, I can think of 9 managers. 7 of them, including the store manager, are women. And while I don't know exactly how much they are paid, I highly doubt the two male managers make any more money than the female managers.
The fact is, it's easier for women to get into college, get scholarships/financial aid, get jobs requiring their college education, and get promoted to management. If schools/government/companies don't do this, they are accused of discriminating against women. The real irony is that giving special treatment *IS* sexist, since it's saying that women need help in order to go to college and get a good job.
Back on topic:
If this game was made the other way around, you could bet good money that people would throw a fit about it. Judd is right.
Fortunately, I don't think it'd be a must-have title either way. Of course, I don't watch the show, so I guess I'm not who they're going after.
