Actor Danny Glover Helping To Create "Arab Video Game."

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 14 (UPI) -- The United Arab Emirates-based Colorblind Entertainment announced Wednesday that U.S. film star Danny Glover is joining its board of directors.

Colorblind said Glover, who co-starred in the "Lethal Weapon" buddy-cop action flicks, will play an integral role in the future development of "Sharq Warriors," a videogame franchise featuring "Sami," the first modern Arab action hero.

Colourblind said Riz Khan, a show host at Al Jazeera English and former journalist with the BBC and CNN, is also working on the project.

"Many existing games feature Western soldiers shooting Arabs, Afghans and other ethnic 'enemies,' as well as bad guys who are consistently of African descent, Latino, Arab or Muslim in general," Khan noted. "We think that only reinforces negative stereotypes. We're introducing different types of heroes and 'Sami' is the first of them but he fights corruption, not people of another race."


Sorry, I don't think Sami of Sharq Warriors is going to be as PC as all that. I'll bet there's going to be some joo-shooting in there somewhere, at least if they expect to sell the thing.

And what sort of role is Glover going to take in this? We all know he's a Castro-fellating leftist tool, is he going to be sucking circumcised jihadi tube steak now, too?
