I just read an article on a recent language learning game called Spanish for Everyone. The clips they had and the description made this sound like a parody or something. But apparently it is a real game. Read the article (link) and see the game for sale on Amazon (link).

Frankly I’m surprised that in our politically correct world that something this culturally insensitive would be published as a game. Do we really need to see the Hispanic boy run off to Mexico while being chased by the police to learn Spanish? Seriously, this looks like something from a comedy source and I really thought it was until I saw it for sale. I guess the one concession they made was that they gave the boy and his father a limo to escape to Mexico in, it could have been an El Camino or something. :-o
