Windows Casino Thinks New Yorkers Are Jerks

Live in New York City? You’re an asshole according to Windows Casino which has created an game called Torch Runner. In the game, an Olympic torch carrier must navigate his way past squirt guns and fire hydrants which threaten to extinguish the flame and avoid cars which threaten to, well, kill the torch bearer. Is this any way to treat a global sporting event which brings the people of the world together? Say what you will about Chinese politics but the Olympics aren’t (or shouldn’t be) about politics.

Rather than play this lame ass game, everyone should go watch Matt Harding dance his way around the world. Now that’s much more akin to the spirit (at least in intent) of the Olympics.

Cornell researcher Vanessa Bohns has spent years studying why people agree to requests they’d rather decline, and her research consistently finds that people dramatically overestimate the social cost of saying no, which means most of the exhaustion of over-committing gets paid for a consequence that was never really on the table
