Forza 2 is a 360 game that lets you build and paint your own cars and race them within the game. Fair enough. Unfortunately, some gamers have taken it upon themselves to create Nazi-themed roadsters and other patently racist crap.

While everyone has a right to free speech, stuff like this just ruins the 360 experience and breeds ignorance and contempt. I don’t think they should censor it — it ensures that racist assholes get flamed and banned on Live, which is good for everybody. We’ll see what they do in the next few days. It’s actually quite interesting that more of this hasn’t happened in WoW et al or maybe I just haven’t see it.
