That’s an interesting game you’ve made there
Gov. Sebelius, Democratic Governor of Kansas, is going to give the Democrat’s response to President Bush’s State of the Union address tonight. She’s also going to be endorsing Senator Obama in the very near future. By all accounts she’s a rising star in the Democratic Party. Having said all that, her son has an odd idea for making money:
The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius is peddling a board game titled “Don’t Drop the Soap,” a prison-themed game he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.
John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. The governor’s spokeswoman, Nicole Corcoran, said both parents “are very proud of their son John’s creativity and talent.”
John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information on the website lists the address of the governor’s mansion. Corcoran said the address will change when John Sebelius moves.
“Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole,” the site says. “Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss’ lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse’s desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the shower room.”
The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using ‘Wheelz,” muscle-flexing “Anferny” and business suit-clad “Sal ‘the Butcher.”‘
There’s also a soapdish parole card holder.
Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan to pay for the production of his work.
“This game is intended for mature audiences – not children – and is simply intended for entertainment,” Corcoran said.
Big ups to Rachael for alerting me of this.
