Too good, I just couldn’t resist.
According to The Verge’s Brian Crecente, the Iran Computer & Video Games Foundation (such a thing exists?) sent a letter to the developer of the popular Angry Birds game. What, praytell, did that letter contain? An accusation that the ninth level contained a planet that looked like Iran. This will clearly “inspire anti-Iran sentiments to players and that the game . . . is part of the United States cyber war against [Iran].”
Stuxnet, Flame, Duqu, and . . . Angry Birds.

I just had to find out what sort of games the Iran Computer & Video Games Foundation puts out, and I wasn’t disappointed. Number one search result was a Guardian article about an Iranian video game featuring the Salman Rushdie fatwa. Awesome, can’t wait, so pumped to try it out!
