<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>i think a live-action, live-rounds enactment of this even with the president of VIS in the role of President Kennedy should be done in response to this junk</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Well, they being game developers and having to actually generate money for this thing, one would expect them to put some sort of entertainment value on the thing. Even so, is anybody going to spend more than 20 minutes on this thing? Therefore, only conspracists are going to buy it.</div>

In a country where Columbine gets blamed on Marilyn Manson music and Doom, a Bush assassination would be blamed on a Bush assassination game.</div>
