    Kotaku's LocoRacism Debate Makes Newsweek

    In the blog watch section of this week's (July 11) issue of Newsweek, the LocoRoco racism debate is mentioned. Reader Stephen was kind enough to snap a pic of the blurb, which reads:

    A couple bloggers at 1up.com charge that the enemies in the Japanese game LocoRoco are caricatures reminiscent of minstrels in blackface; kotaku.com disagrees vehemently.

    The "vehemently" part was pure Florian. It always is. Brian Ashcraft

    Newsweek.com [Official Site] Thanks, Stephen!
