So I started leveling an ally hunter on my buddies realm for shits and giggles.  While I was in STV I decided to tame a gorilla (a white one at that), and name him....well....OBAMA.

If this ain't a bunch of BS if I ever seen it.  The woosification of america continues....


Greetings Carlo,

Account Name: CEMANUELE
Realm: Moonrunner
Pet Name: Obama

Account Action: Warning
Offense:  Offenses: Naming Policy Violation - Racial/Ethnic/National
This category includes both clear and masked names which:
   * Have any racial/ethnic connotations
   * Have any national connotations

The name selected for this pet has been deemed as inappropriate for the World of Warcraft by the In-Game Support staff of Blizzard Entertainment. Your pet's name has been reset to the original tamed name and you will be able to choose a new name for your pet upon your next login.

For further information, please view the World of Warcraft Naming Policy and Terms of Use Agreement: (http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/?id=agm01722p) and (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/termsofuse.shtml).

Holy shit

The guy has obtained the highest civil position, and highest position of prestige in the United States, yet is still able to obtain the race card, as played by him and his followers.

For fucks sake.

1) REPORTED


2) Seriously, games have had policies about naming characters after real people for years.  SOE nerfed one of our <Eighty Thousand Eighty-Five> toon names, I think it was JessicaSimpsons80085. 


3) And really seriously, you think it should be ok to name a gorilla Obama?  Come on.

Yo dog, I hurd u like race baiting with your race baiting.


I am not sure how you can be surprised that some one is offended by this, it's like you did it so you'd have an excuse to complain about 'the race card'

Personaly I don't give a shit, since I think offencive jokes are hillarious but that is probably why I am not in charge of anything the public sees on a regular basis.

It was a white gorilla.  The man is half white isn't he?  But hey I don't care, if people can't take a joke that's their problem.  I renamed him "Bama"...

This statement has been reported to the moderator as racism. According to our terms of service it is not allowed. However, it is a true statement so I will allow it to stand. :-)

My 3 black sisters have granted me honorary membership in the black community, so I can say whatever I want and it's not racist.  Honkey-tonk bitches.
