Where are the Nazis when you need them?

Everybody knows that Nazis are the ultimate bad guys. That's why it sucked so much that the latest Indiana Jones had to trade them for Commies. Ok, I know, it makes sense: Harrison Ford is older so the story had to take place in the late 50s instead of in the 30s.

I haven't yet played Lego Indiana Jones, but I'm reaaaally looking forward to it. However, I just watched this very cute movie from their website and I was really disappointed to find no Nazis. Ok, there are some characters that look like AfrikaKorps but they really don't look like mean Nazis at all! And no swaztikas neither! Before you even think about it, of course I'm aware that Lego is a kid's product and that the Germans have a stupid law about not showing Nazi paraphernalia, but nothing is more educational for kids than whacking Nazis. I'm not really a big supporter of violence in games when it comes to children, but virtually shooting at Nazis beats killing aliens and monsters anytime.

Oh, well, I'll have to play the actual game before actually complaining, but at the very least the game's movie made me worry. Children's games need good villains, in the same way that children's literature needs them too. We need Nazis more than evil witches, wolves and ghosts. As my friend Indy liked to say: "Nazis, I hate these guys!"

oh, i totally agree. i'd love to whoop virtual nazi butt. and i am really looking forward to the lego indiana jones, even though i'm not a fan of the indiana jones series - they're super stereotype-filled extravaganzas. yet the lego star wars games are fantastic. how can you beat a video game with both great game play and humor combined - i have a 10-yr-old son and it's one of my favorite games to play together.

Experience more than sufficiently teaches that men govern nothing with more difficulty than their
tongues. Do you think so?
