Have You Always Wanted To Save A Kind Missionary From An Evil Cannibal?

Here's Your Chance

When Yahoo’s web game designers run out of ideas, they turn to myths from the good ol’ days of colonialism for their inspiration. is a brilliant game that requires the player to move all of the “kind” missionaries to one side of the water before the evil (brown) cannibals eat them. No, really. Sound fun?

The cannibals are just mad because the missionaries were raping their children.

I’m excited. I wonder if I have to be logged in to play! I can’t wait to see what happens when the missionary loses. Thanks Yahoo!

If you get to level four, there’s a bonus round where you can be an American celebrity and steal the cannibal babies.

Right, and then on level 5 you get small pox infested blankets to hand out to the cannibals.

I watched some Discovery Channel thing on Papua New Guinea and this reminds me of that. I am not about to go on vacay anywhere near that. It proved that no matter how “behind” people are on technology, we humans will always find a way to kill each other. Violence is one thing we all have in common.

I went to Yahoo to check out the game after I read about it on and I feel violated. The people who came up with the concept of the game and approved it to be on the website should be fired. It’s especially sick how the missionaries turn into pieces of meat if you don’t get them across the river on time. Yahoo needs to get it together.
