By now, you have likely heard about V-Tech Rampage, a game based on the slaughter at Virginia Tech. As could be expected, many folks were outraged and offended by the game, and demanded that author Ryan Lambourn take it down. He's more than happy to oblige, as long as you're willing to cough up the necessary fee, that is. He has posted the following message on his website, GooGumProduce:

ATTENTION ANGRY PEOPLE:

I will take this game down from newgrounds if the donation amount reaches $1000 US, i’ll take it down from here if it reaches $2000 US, and i will apologize if it reaches $3000 US.

Newgrounds could, of course, just take the game down themselves, but as of yet, they've remained hush on the matter. So, is this guy an evil genius, or just the biggest douchebag to come down the pike in a long, long, long time?
