If you want to use famous people in games, at least put them in there for some freaking reason. Like...wtf do i know, rap hero world tour? :P
but hey at least i'm honest ;)
In real life they need an army of 400 pound bodyguards to see off a group of hormonal 14 year old girls that are trying to...........take thier picture!!!!
How on earth do they really think they could take on a terrorist on their own, the taliban would just need to whip out a camera and they would go running home to their mansion!
HA HA..................Lame!
I hope they're not taking themselves too seriously with the whole "In a world he didn't know...". It sounds so ridiculous that it's either brilliant or the most painful to watch trailer ever. Also.. 50 sounds like a retard with a speaking disability.
