Furious at Castro assassination stage.
Call of Duty: Black Ops has no doubt found millions of fans this week, but the Cuban government is not among them. On the contrary it’s seething about a sequence detailing a failed assassination attempt on leader Fidel Castro.
According to the Associated Press, an article published by state-run news outlet Cubadebate read, “What the United States couldn’t accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually.”
“This new video game is doubly perverse,” it continues. “On the one hand, it glorifies the illegal assassination attempts the United States government planned against the Cuban leader… and on the other, it stimulates sociopathic attitudes in North American children and adolescents.”
