I think the point is being missed on so many levels. It is the TRAILER that is offensive. I find it offensive as an American, that a game portrays our Social Problem of misunderstanding third world peoples as cool or heroic. I am tired of living in a country that the much of the world fears and hates, I definitely don't want to play a video game or watch a trailer for one (more than once) where that flaw is glorified.
The trailer does lead you to believe that the locals are an violent mob before any zombie virus. There is a white amreican in fancy clothes with a fancy gun that he is there to help and his position is glorified in the trailer. The Trailer is offensive to both Africans and Westerners.
Capcom recently had another similar issue with the Zack and Wiki trailer, over a savages chanting (the chant was an audio clip of a muslim prayer). They took it out of the game and out of the trailer.
I said that I didn't agree with the initial complaint in the magazine, but I am glad that they brought it up. Because if you feel governments, the wealthy, or large corporations are being irresponsible, it is our responsibilty in the American Tradition (cough...pre-9/11...cough) to speak up.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
