Ghettopoly's Legal Challenges in Europe

Ghettopoly, a parody of Monopoly that features playing pieces in the shape of a machine gun, a marijuana leaf and a 40-ounce bottle of beer, is now under legal assault in Europe as well as the United States. According to the Telegraph web site, Hasbro Europe has "launched a High Court legal action against a number of companies in Britain that are selling and distributing the game." Another report indicates that the Metropolitan Police Authority is considering banning the game.
