Simply Disturbing

Sitting in last semester in my Human Growth and Development class, our professor directed us to some web sites that are "unsuitable" for children. No, we did not view any porn, but just some sites that are "adult only."

One such site is JFK Reloaded. You are Lee Harvey Oswald and you are sitting in the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository Building on November 22, 1963.

See where I'm going with this?

Yep, you have the opportunity to do what the Warren Commission says -- Oswald gets off three shots at the presidential limo, killing President Kennedy and injuring Governor John Connally.

If you can be as accurate as possible, you are awarded points. If you pay the $10 for unlock the whole JFK Reloaded, you have the opportunity to have 10 chances to put up the highest score possible for the chance of winning $10,000 or even maybe $100,000. Crazy!

There is a free demo if you want to check it out.

I've already heard stories from newspapers that this site is BAD NEWS -- it's even being sued by the Kennedy Family. But there are some that argue that this is of historical significance, but it's up in the air.

People in Minnesota will probably know my obsession of the JFK assassination from my junior high years and on, reading the books and studying the Zapruder film. This site, although somewhat disturbing, has drawn my interest.

Check it out -- if you're mature enough.
