Videogame Enrages Israeli Supporters: The creator of Newgrounds, Tom Fulp, is at the center of a huge controversy. He has a game up on his page called “Kaboom” that features suicide bombers blowing up innocent people. Because Tom Fulp is refusing to remove the game from his page, he’s infuriating a lot of people including Nita M. Lowey, D-N.Y. Personally, I think the game is repulsive and if I were in Mr. Fulp’s place, I’d pull it from Newgrounds. However, if he wants to keep the game up, I support his right to do so on First Amendment grounds, even if I wouldn’t handle it the same way.

As a side note, here’s an interview I did a while back with Tom Fulp on Brass Knuckles Webzine that you might find interesting because we actually discussed some of the other controversial videos that have been on his site.
