WINNER OF THE BAD IDEA OF THE DAY CONTEST:
Urban Outfitters has begun selling in its stores a board game called "
Ghettopoly," featuring properties including Harlem, the Bronx, and Westside Liquor, and squares with names including "Smitty's XXX Peep Show" and "Weinstein's Gold and Platinum." (A close friend of ours even gets a possible mention with Tyron's Gun Shop.) Cards read,
inter alia, "You got yo whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50." Among mispelt historical figures are to be found "Malcum X" and "Martin Luthor King."
Black clergymen and other community leaders are not amused.
