I spoke too soon. Some Canadian dairy companies still use the term.

The use of the word "Fag" was always planned to be used.  Looking back, I used that word a bunch of times on the video and always had a nagging feeling that using it might be offensive to some people.
I think we all knew deep down that what we were doing was mildly offensive but we pushed those thoughts aside and went ahead with it anyway.

P.S.
I suggested "Capture the Hag" to the players and they love it!

I think you'll like this video I shot a few days ago.  No controversy...just attacking and killing!  :thumbup:

Unless such an event is done Benny Hill style I can see people taking offense. You get your "backwoods" setting, males and females armed with "guns" hunting a "fag".
Personally I don't think "fag" is as offensive as the N-word but should still be used with caution in my opinion.

I have no idea who the AARP is but I'm assuming it's pensioners, and as such they shouldn't be on that magic internet thingy anyways.

AARP stands for American Association of Retired Persons. Basically, and this information comes from wikipedia, the AARP is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-partisan interest and lobbying group which addresses issues affecting older humans. As I am older than 50, I get letters all the time from them, asking me to join, which I have yet to do.
