Monopoly and Jerusalem - a new twist
If you thought the Monopoly fiasco by Hasbro has been resolved, think again..
They came up with a creative solution to the controversy - they took all the countries off the game and the voting. That way Jerusalem was not alone in being "countryless".
But now Hasbro has announced that they have signed a deal with Universal Studios to make a movie based on the Monopoly game. They will also be making movies based on Candy Land, Battleship, and Ouija games.
If they mention Jerusalem or any other city outside of the United States at all in the movie, they had better not mention any country name or I am going to call for protests and will start opening Facebook groups in protest! :-)
