Jackass Remakes 9/11 with LittleBigPlanet, Flys Sackboy into World Trade Center

Ripten writes:

"With all the positive press out there showcasing the great things that can be made using the LittleBigPlanet level editor, it was only a matter of time before someone made something not so great.

If you thought the use of Space Invaders to mock the events of September 11th was tasteless, then you will likely cringe when you see Sackboy pilot a plane into the twin towers in this user created LBP level.

The video is available after the jump, though we completely understand if you decide to pass on this one."

i'm usually not one to be overly grave about 9/11 despite its seriousness, but i don't know this makes me feel uncomfortable

I agree with this being bothersome. Seeing a cute character like Sackboy being forced into the predicament is despicable.

this is humiliating. using LBP or any kind of entertainment to spur this kind of message is outright irresponsible! when I watch the video, the intention of the level maker is obvious! he/she clearly wants to humliate both muslims and everything 9/11 related! there are millions of other things to make yet he/she made this? come on, is it THAT hard to keep gaming FUN and free from any kind of sentiment, be it religion, race, skin color or any sensitive issues?! game on for all and who ever made this, just please consider consulting counselor or theraphy! your brain needs a little tweak of PEACE!

its pretty disturbing. But its not like they dont show the footage on tv every Sep 11th. so you cant really blame the game, you would be a idiot too. Its the user who made the level Not Littlebigplanet.

So you leave the game alone!

I think you are overreacting guys. I agree that 9/11 was a terrifying thing, but the fact that we HAVE to abolish ANYTHING made about it, its going too far.

After all, our forefathers fought for the freedom of speech and expression.
We shouldn't use them only when it suits us.
After all, its only a game. And i think that there are ten million people out there who have crashed a plane on buildings for fun in a flight sim, a decade ago (and more) before 9/11.

A game, is a game, is a game, is a game. Nothing more. If you trully believe so, then you should join Jack Thomson and hunt all the "satanic" games!

If not, just relax and enjoy it! and if you dont like sth, just dont play it!

The game is great and even shows that it gives even the lowest of scum bags the tools to make a level like this. It's nice to know that for every poorly thought out level like this, there are hundreds of great levels showing that many more user have brains when it comes to being sensitive to those who were victims and family members of the victims of 9/11.

mean 9/11 happened a long time ago. and people make jokes about things like cancer all of the time, i mean if some ones son had cancer it would not be funny at all to that person to hear a cancer joke but they are everywhere. just like to a kid had a mom or dad who worked in the world trade centers this would not be funny. their is going to be more and more 9/11 jokes as time goes on after the seriousness of it gets more and more blurry in people memory.

Man it is just in poor taste, just like the guy who did the the Penis level going into the crotch. and like I said before bad taste aside the level if you watch it in its entirety shows a little pop up message that says "DALLAS IS NEXT" which rasises the red flag from harmless bad taste to someone who has real issues, to someone that is threating a city, which makes him a psyco and not just someone trying to make lite of 911. That is what makes me mad is the when some punk treatens me in a harmless game.

The people saying this video game level are the same people crying about that Muslim Massacre game. You people aren't looking at the bigger picture. Yes, 9/11 was bad, but freaking out about a level in LBP will not help at all. These people have a right to make that level, and unless MM finds it distasteful and deletes it, creating a uproar won't solve anything.

Also, banning things because of specific peoples' moral values is violating the First Amendment.

It's ironic how people get disturbed watching or even playing this, when one of the biggest games in America in "Call Of Duty 4" which depicts american soldiers shooting and blasting through middle easterns. This is disturbing but blowing up and shooting digital depictions of others from diffirent cultures and race its all so good. just found that ironic.

Not a big deal anyway. Besides, 9/11 was plotted by the illuminati. The puppets (US government/President Bush) were the ones used to plan the event. I have a feeling there's going to be another attack by them, and this time they are going in for the killing to strike fear into the US citizens and make them give up their freedoms for ''security'' via the mind control RFID chip.

I'm willing to bet that the FBI and the Secret Service will be looking into this seeing as how the video said that Dallas was next. I think that whoever made this level should be exposed to the media. You have to be a complete idiot to post something like this on the internet.

2.1 - Agreed.
People need to move on with their lives and stop being so sensitive. Idiots are out there, and they always will be. That's the issue I take with the youtube generation. Every little antic has to make news and be commented on.

More good will come out of the freedom of creativity than bad, would you rather have a system run by M$ with a filter?

I'm proud to be an American, but I think were also being a bit too sensitive about the subject. Would we care if sackboy was on a plantation picking cotton, or running Native american's off their land? Far more people were killed during those era's then 10 9/11's.
Do we still care?

But this is a website for gaming, not social commentary....let's move on.

I agree with you, however I would still a bit sensitive. I think you're not too sensitive about 9/11 because you weren't directly involved. I can only imagine the grief and suffering from the families directly involved with 9/11. Some loved ones died, others badly injured: Lives were changed forever as a result of 9/11. It's not something you're likely to forget anytime soon. Who're we to say to those family members: "it's been 7 years now, get over it" (I would not want to be the one to say that)

I know you're not trying to be a jerk, but these are things you just have to accept and take it in the ass for the good of those families directly involved with 9/11. For one thing, I remember seeing actual photos and videos of people jumping to their deaths, and someone makes a "Here's Superman!" joke out of it. Would you be laughing or angry? Consider that this happened about 5 years after 9/11. To be honest, I stopped caring about 9/11, but I'll still respect those that still care about 9/11. It was a tragic day for America.

Still though, this isn't the place to discuss 9/11. We're here to discuss LBP, not dwell in the past. I hope the guy that made that awful level gets his PSN ID permanently banned from LBP.

2.5 - @cRaZyLeGs 93
This level is both distasteful and unbelievably outrageous, honestly the event and death toll affected the world so much. The views on national security, racism and immigration were greatly affected by this travesty, only to be recreated in a game where creativity is praised. I hope no praise goes to this. 2000 deaths is nothing to forget about. Two of one of the most symbolic buildings in America's economy collapsing is nothing to forget about. People just don't get over that.

In this case, I'll agree with Microsoft's view on player created content and implication in-game. I guess this is what they wanted to prevent. Only in this case though.
