1980's Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega is suing Activision, the maker of the Call of Duty games, for depicting him as a murderer, war criminal, and drug dealer. And guess what - history indicates he was exactly that, and courts in various countries have agreed that he was indeed a murderer, war criminal, and drug dealer! Plus, there's that little thing called "free speech" that is still supposed to exist in America. I'm not a Call of Duty fan, but this must go down in history as one of the most frivolous uses of the legal system ever.

i like what giuliani said about this: “What’s astonishing is that Manuel Noriega, a notorious dictator who is in prison for the heinous crimes he committed, is upset about being portrayed as a criminal and enemy of the state in the game Call of Duty. Quite simply, it’s absurd.” is noriega that far in denial?
if this means i can shoot noriega in the face in black ops 2, brb reinstalling that game's campaign --- Edited by: fireball3k, Sep 26th, 2014 @ 4:46 pm

Friendly Dictator So what can be superior when compared with paying out half the price for brand name children? wow, if brand name children are on sale, maybe i can stop buying all these cheap knockoff children Bibby OK... even I'll admit that the Oakland Raiders' performance might be a valid reason to use the interesting words. |

Frivolous indeed.
This just seems like pure greed, and from a known lunatic. |
