Game maker Parker Brothers has added VISA DEBIT CARDS to the classic board game Monopoly (and got rid of the paper money).

I think it's funny people complain that the game has "debit/credit" cards and that makes it bad because credit companies are bad, and yet, those same people complain because you can no longer try to steal a 500 bill from the bank. Umm... so basically those people are saying it's bad to use a credit card and yet it's okay to steal money from the bank (cheat). Hmm... *shrugs*; Friday, September 15, 2006 1:50:00 PM
