Closure of game exhibit leads to lawsuit

The New York Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit in US federal court regarding the closure of an exhibit at the Sancturary for Independent Media. The exhibit featued the game "Virtual Jihadi", a FPS which involves players hunting down George W. Bush.

New York's public works commissioner shut down the exhibit for "purported [city] code violations". The NYCLU disagreed with these reasons, saying the real reason the exhibit was shut down was because the commissioner found it to be distasteful.

A copy of the complaint is available here.
