The most offensive part of that Republican/Bush joke...
I would have to agree. And the subject matter is just adding to the sheeple's illusion of power through voting in the mock elections. It should be ignored.

...is how not funny it was. Regardless of political party, no one even chuckled or smirked. It was like they just wanted to shove a republican/Bush cheap shot in there so they threw it in even though it literally had no place in there. They were discussing collecting goo and told us to do it or else Bush will be elected again. What? Not funny. Not witty. Not clever in the slightest. It was basically a post-season 3 Family Guy joke where the cutaway has nothing at all to do with what was going on. Well...this game is definitely similar to the show. Lacks funny. Amazing considering Futurama was one of the best cartoons ever.
I feel that I must post this quote on yet another thread...

It was a joke, and quite a funny joke at that. Something that shouldn't be taken too seriously... But as General003969 said, these jokes always get people riled up. Good job, EA!
"Offensive" is the wrong word, imo, but it makes it easier for people who like humor that flatters their opinions to discount any complaints about the low quality of the game's political humor as coming from 'oversensitive conservatives'. The game's overplayed 'lol republicans are dumb' shtick is just irritating. The writers are putting their politics before humor, something the show never does.
