1. exactly what is controversial about this?

It is because they labeled Turkish as greedy gang members? As someone who has had their server hacked by Turkish hackers (they proudly defaced my websites with thier name and location) I would say thats pretty spot on.

2. I don't know why bully has to be from Turkey. The story doesn't ask for that role to have national identity. Bully is a bully, he can be from anywhere. And to sean's comment... ok, Turkish guys hacked into your web server, but please don't tell me that only Turks are doing that on the web.

Not to mention that this is third class machinima... why leaving blue buttons and chat lines in the movie?

3. saying the bully is of certain ethnicity might even induce bullying against people of such ethnicities, this whole thing wasn't all that well thought :/

4. Leave it up to the Italians to make a Fellini-esque SL machinima.

I liked the product placement.

I also liked the prejudice against boys in courtyards, bullies named Ahmed, and courtyards.

5. If they had not singled out an ethnic group to be a gang member... then the video would be acceptable.

For those claiming otherwise - travel a bit. At some points you will find yourself on the other end of it, and it is not pretty.

6. Last time I checked, there was not a pale orange/burnt pumpkin colored member of the human race, so I think Ahmed cannot actually be Turkish.
