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.

Cool, so Mexico is taking the lead from the US - don't bother to try and actually solve your societies serious problems, just go after some irrelevant scapegoat!

Shhh...don't say nuthin' about the goat, or you could be shot. This is a sore spot for the Governor, since he was unaware that the goat was underage at the time of their affair.

At least the United States doesn't try to go after the game companies and destroy their games. Mexico, though... Well, let's just hope the US doesn't get any ideas from them.

Yup, Mission Accomplished once again. Our democracy is on the march...

When the leaders of Mexico have their heads buried in the sand and are completely unwilling to acknowledge the faults of their homeland, it suddenly becomes obvious why we have so many Mexicans flooding our borders.

We have the same problem and you don't see us swarming to Mexico in record numbers.
