New Prison Game - Don't Drop The Soap

The phrase "Don't drop the soap" is not so new but there is a new board game by the same title. The Associated Press is reporting that the son, John Sebelius, of Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius has designed the game as part of a class project.

Gay news sites are reporting the game may come under fire from the GLBT Community. Personally I find it humorous as I'm sure it's intended to be. I've emailed John asking the question I'm sure we all want to know. What happens if you do drop the soap in the game (assuming it's possible to do so). I'll update this post if I get an answer.

The game sells for $34.99 plus S&H and be purchased at John's web site gilliusinc.com

[Update:] John Sebelius has given us the answer to our question. He says:

"A Player can drop the soap in the game. This just sends the player back to Central Booking, essentially the beginning."

Ahh... See, that's not so painful. Drop the soap and you get a fresh start. Kind of fitting, don't you think? Just pick up the soap and start over. In fact, that's what happens to most of us when we drop the soap. No harm done physically or metaphorically. Here's to wishing John the best success with his new game - Cheers!

clipped from 365gay.com The site describes "Don't Drop the Soap" as a game "Where no one playing enters through the front door!" "Fight your way through 6 different exciting locations in hopes of being granted parole," the site says. "Escape prison riots in The Yard, slip glass into a mob boss' lasagna in the Cafeteria, steal painkillers from the nurse's desk in the Infirmary, avoid being cornered by the Aryans in the Shower Room, fight off Latin Kings in Gang War, and try not to smoke your entire stash in The Hole." The game includes five tokens representing a bag of cocaine, a handgun and three characters: wheelchair-using 'Wheelz," muscle-flexing "Anferny" and business suit-clad "Sal 'the Butcher.'"
