I took some pictures of Ybor city and the graffiti ridden streets.  I thought I would share.

Afro-Squad has been online since 1996, and we have never gotten too preachy.  However, I was at Buffalo Wild Wings in Riverview, Florida and I saw a video game that I just hated.  It is Jungle Safari by the folks that make Big Buck Hunter.  So now it is time to get preachy.

The game focuses on shooting wild endangered animals.  How is that a good concept for a game?  I can see killing Nazis, or even the French, but what did a West African Chimp ever do to you? 

Unless you have been mauled by a chimp, what do you have against these animals?  Can’t we just build video games where we re-kill the undead?  I could even accept killing zombie chimps, but to pay your hard earned cash to pretend to shoot an endangered animal that is grooming itself. 

I for one will not go back to any restaurant that has this game.  Can’t we just go back to playing games where we shoot at imaginary centipedes?

As you may already know, the team at the Afro-Squad is kind of vain.  SnowMan Jones takes pictures of himself all day long.  KrazyMan is constantly looking at his reflection in his golden gun.  Jordi Scrubbings will talk your ear off if you get a chance.  So every once in a while we google the term “Afrosquad.”

We were angered when we saw somebody using the name Afrosquad on a racist message board titled Chimpout.  Chimpout has nothing to do with the good natured antics of the real Afro-Squad. 

Every once in a while people ask us, “do your afros have anything to do with race?”  The simple answer is no.  They just look funny on our skinny little bodies.  That’s all. 

On a side note, this little chimpanzee reading a paper is pretty cool.  We wish we knew some real chimps.  They are cool when they aren’t eating your fingers.
