Just as the Romans had their vomitoriums and Christian-slaughtering lions, America has its reality shows and its 500 pound adults, so too Activision has its Guitar Hero and Modern Warfare…and so too, will this empire eventually destroy itself.  I’d say the day after Modern Warfare 3 releases, you may want to contact your stockbroker and [...]
