Mexican governor orders seizure of GRAW2
 
Quote:
The governor of the Mexican state of Chihuahua has ordered that copies of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 be confiscated, according to a report on Spanish-language site El Diario.

Set in Juárez, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas, GRAW2 follows an elite combat unit battling Mexican rebels in the year 2014. Earlier this month, the mayor of Juárez, a city in Chihuahua on the Mexican-American border, criticized the game sharply, saying it instilled poor values and portrayed his town's people as violent.

According to the report, Chihuahua Governor José Reyes Baeza Terrazas considers the game an insult not only to the city of Juárez, but to the entire country. Currently, authorities are gathering information on where the game is being sold, reproduced, and distributed in preparation for a seizure campaign, El Diario reported.

That's as far as I read.
Any state that shares the name with a tiny, non-threatening dog is a.o.k in my books.

The dog is actually named after the state.

I never said "Took the name from" I said "shares it's name with".


Also, really?
I totally thought Mexico loved the popularity of the tiny animal they put it in the anals of history and time by naming land after it.

/sarcasm.

I wasn't refuting your claim, simply stating a fact.

I can see where they get there idea from, if I was having these kind of issues and then this game comes out that practically advertises the rebellion...

HA!!!! Juarez is a turd in the ground. GRAW portrays it better than it really is. And it is insurgents, NOT juarez residents that you're fighting. Don't act like you people in Juarez can afford an Xbox360 anyways.

But really though, if Mexico released a game where an elite squad of Mexican soldiers fought against an American insurgence in, I dunno, Texas, wouldnt you guys be kind of upset? I mean, aside from the fact that that makes no sense at all.
