Why would any patriotic-oriented franchise, like COD, want any association with Kanye West? This loudmouth quisling insulted President Bush after Katrina, interrupted Taylor Swift at an awards ceremony, and generally made it be know he doesn't like WHITE people. Like the huge number of Irish and Irish-American winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor. If I were DKM I'd de-emphasize association with Candy-Ass West, not publicize it. I'd also see about getting booked at the Pleasanton Highland Games, (http://www.caledonian.org/home.html)among fellow Celts instead of sharing a stage with the likes of Mr. West. But I'd save my real disgust for Activision - what cluelessness are they trafficking...or is COD#3 a special version for jihadi and other anti-Americans? with special appearances by ACLU Guess I'll stay with AMERICA'S ARMY! you all should, too!
