As widely reported in the media, a new game was released on the anniversary of JFK's assasination that allows players to assume the role of Lee Harvey Oswald and shoot JFK's motorcade. The game is billed as a "interactive recreation" of the JFK assasination.

What are some people's thoughts about this?

Agreed. When it's personal, there's always a group of people out there to identify with the person very closely. That's less the case if you generalize, even if the ficticious person is a closer match to the group in question than the real person is. "It's just a story, after all".

Bryce, do everyone a favor and don't get ugly, or you might find yourself in hot water. Noone likes a troll.
