Yet More Anti-Zombie Virtual Violence from Call of Duty

Don’t these people take vacations?

Guess not:

- Call of Duty®: Black Ops, the best selling game ever on the Xbox 360, is ready to blow fans away withthe worldwide release of its third content pack on June 28th,: Call of Duty®: Black Ops Annihilation. Black Ops continues to draw millions of gamers online globally, logging billions of gameplay hours since its launch in November. Fueled by the breakthrough First Strike and Escalation content packs, the blockbuster title is also already the highest selling add-on content in Xbox LIVE history, according to Microsoft. In fact, more gamers play Call of Duty on Xbox LIVE than on any other platform. The newest offering, Annihilation, will launch first on Xbox LIVE and features four new multiplayer maps and a Zombie experience that’s sure to keep gamers coming back for more.

“With Annihilation, Black Ops fans will get four exciting and unique multiplayer settings with Hangar 18, Drive-In, Silo and Hazard,” said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “Players will also enjoy an all-new Zombies experience, Shangri-La, an exotic and mysterious map filled with deadly traps, dark secrets and innovative gameplay that will challenge even the most daring Zombie hunters.”

Shangri-La, eh? So not only are you defaming the Differently Animated but you’re despoiling our shared cultural heritage by naming the site of your gruesome and murderous spectacles of violence after the legendary lost kingdom of peace and serenity? Are they trying to allege that one can find some sort of Enlightenment through slaughtering Zombies?

Wait, let’s not give them any additional ideas.

Naturally, we condemn the fact that this game exists, that the expansion packs keep coming out and above all else that they sell so well. It is a sad, sad commentary on the state of our civilization that this sort of prejudiced and discriminatory bloodsport is such popular entertainment.
