Here’s an amusing story for a slow news week: Young man plays the very excellent game LocoRoco for the PSP, and notes that certain blob-like enemies are, in fact, black. He goes to his blog hosted on a videogame Web site and claims this is racism at play.

Other game Web sites pick this up, run with it. Commentary! Discussion! Debate!

You can follow this very odd bit of back-and-forth here and here.

In other news, today I will wear pants.
