In case you are looking for a last minute Christmas gift...

...better act fast.

The U.S. Justice Department is trying to destroy about 63,000 copies of the controversial "Ghettopoly" board game. The knockoff game, which retails for $39.95, describes "elements of the game" as, "buying stolen properties, pimpin hoes, building crack houses and projects, paying protection fees and getting car jacked." In "Ghettopoly," players land on properties like Chico's Bodega and Smitty's XXX Peep Show, instead of Boardwalk or Marvin Gardens, and the game pieces include a pimp and a machine gun. When "Ghettopoly" debuted last year, black leaders nationwide decried it as racist and criticized game creator David Chang, who has defended his creation, saying it "draws on stereotypes not as a means to degrade, but as a medium to bring together in laughter."

So hood rich...I can't imagine why the feds would want to destroy it.

    I always thought the plural for ho--disreputable woman--was "hos." I guess you learn something new every day.
