Columbine game creator lacks common decency

If you have never heard of Slamdance, it's a film festival in New York that showcases independent movies. In recent years, it has also started showcasing independently made video games.

Slamdance is somewhat known for featuring movies that tend to be too racy for mainstream film festivals. Never in the history of the festival has a film been pulled due to controversy. So what would it take to be the first video game in the festival to be pulled?

How about making a game called "Super Columbine Massacre RPG!"

In this game, the player assumes the roles of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold on the morning of April 20, 1999. The game's main characters are known for shooting up their Littleton, Colo. high school. The game follows the real time progression of the tragic event, including the boys' own suicides.
