Bad videogame ideas

Video games based on real life are great. However, they can only be of certain types. Racing sims, sport sims, flying sims, sim sims, and war sims are all good, but there's one in particular that is just wrong. Assassination of a president sim. There was a short mini news article on JFK Reloaded, some game made by a Scottish programmer where the gamer gets to take the role of the gunman who shot JFK. Games based on WWII where you are shooting the crap out of Nazis are fine. As long as the guys you kill are perceived as enemies in your society. But JFK was a beloved president of the US, you do NOT re-enact a killing of him. Other assassination games are fine, but not of heroes- fictional characters and villains only.
