Jackass Remakes 9/11 with LittleBigPlanet, Flies Sackboy into World Trade Center

by Chad Lakkis on October 7, 2008 at 12:05 am

With all the positive press out there showcasing the great things that can be made using the LittleBigPlanet level editor, it was only a matter of time before someone made something not so great.

If you thought the use of Space Invaders to mock the events of September 11th was tasteless, then you will likely cringe when you see Sackboy pilot a plane into the twin towers in this user created LBP level.

The video is available after the jump, though we completely understand if you decide to pass on this one.

Level created by Bushkiller85 (PSN ID) and recorded by onQ (PSN ID).

That video was horrible offensive to people everywhere who had to bear witness to that and it was clearly not created by “bad” muslims but in an attempt to get more hate for them. Simply disgusting if I find any of this on the LBP beta I’m reporting it straight away.

Ok, surprise surprise. Why even make this article? For what? To show people there are idiots out there? Yeah, we know. This is only giving them attention.

It’s a damn video game, to be honest I have yet to even come by an offensive level in LBP, because im not out searching for stupid levels, and the majority of people playing aren’t either.

There are quite a few out there, but they are on the very bottom of the stack of levels. Why? Because no one gives attention to them to reach any higher..

How about writing an article about the amazing GoW level made in LBP, hmm?

PS- I agree with TobiUchiha

lol - grow up a bit. It looks awful and unrealistic but thats LBP!

Hey Sentry,

We think LBP is a great game, in fact we named it best game of E3, and completely feel that this type of thing is the exception — not the rule.

There are many articles on this site that showcase the creative and good side brought to life by the LBP level editor. That said, this is a gaming news blog and we do have an obligation on some levels to occasionally report news that we don’t necessarily agree with.

I guess people haven’t learned from this whole Jack Thompson thing.

STOP GIVING SHIT LIKE THIS ANY ATTENTION.

Dont give that terrible excuse of of “oh gee we have to show everything that’s game related”. Thats such a fucking cop out.

Watch the movie Zeitgeist (the 911 part), more so if you’re American. Yeah that level is a bit mad, but nothing shocks me these days.

on October 7, 2008 4:38 am

who has the luxury to be shocked with the net lol. My grow up comment was aimed at the first post and the knee jerk ‘its bad m’kay’. This type of thing actually spices up a game - showing folks the devs couldnt clamp down all options bar what they wanted (see spore LOL). Games I play tend to be more free rolling and extol player created content above the narrative - if fact it IS the narrative.

Good that some creativity still squirts through even if you dont ‘approve’. I find many mundane/insane things offend me more, down to the lack of thinking they encourage. Pathed gaming = pathed life - get off the path!

I dont own a ps3 yet but will and LBP but that really i didnt find wrong its just a game and people are gonna do it. You just gotta learn to live with it.Yeah at first i was shocked of course but in the end its only a game that is no where near really relalistic at all so y the fuss then?

@ Tobi , Sentry, Ash

NO ONE made you read or watch anything. 9/11 is done and over with. Of course lives were lost including people I knew, but there is no need to be so serious about it after 7 years. The holocaust was a horrible event but people make jokes of it all the time. Even Jews! So just relax dude.

I honestly agree Sjin, I thought the first one was funny considering the plane was going at mach speeds lol…

People honestly just need to calm down..it’s nothing to get all riled up for..Like they said..you didn’t have to read this.

on October 7, 2008 12:02 pm

This really isn’t that big of a deal. It’s creative and well-thought out.

If this is the worst thing you see all day, then that’s a pretty good day.

It’s just a videogame. Go be upset by the real tradegies. This is a blip on the radar of life, nothing important.

on October 7, 2008 1:06 pm

lol really not a big deal. Of course its disrespectful and rude to the people were affected by it(which sucks i agree) but honestly not a HUGE amount of people were affected and worse things have happened. I think my main point is people need to stop living in constant fear and people need to learn not to take every single childish thing so seriously. But really why would someone feel the need to make this? Just seems pointless if you ask me…

on October 7, 2008 1:09 pm

Whoever had the narrow mindedness to believe for even one second that this is in any way funny should be treated like dirt. How dare they joke of such an awful event such as this. I thought the moderators of Little Big Planet were meant to delete content such as this, yet it seems they have failed at the first hurdle.

on October 7, 2008 1:26 pm

this game will open the “creative” doors of some very dark minds. that being said, people criticizing this 9/11 LBP level better not defend or support other levels deemed insensitive on gender, racial or religious grounds.

@ Chad

Oh it’s alright, I know you guys love LittleBigPlanet (who doesn’t, right? :P). I was just saying you shouldn’t give attention to the people who made these levels, but to each his own and that’s fine.

@ Phosphor112

Precisely my point bro, maybe you didn’t read my post but I understand what you are saying and I agree.

Bottom line…..it’s a stupid level. It’s pretty uncreative really, barring the whole 9/11 thing. I’ve seen much better. About the 9/11 thing, its in poor taste, but shouldn’t be made out to be a HUGE deal. This is made by a person that has no moral filter in his (or her) head and thinks making fun of 9/11 is edgy an cool to do. IT’S NOT..YOU’RE NOT….GROW A BRAIN.

Get over it, it’s just a video game. If you’re seriously offended by this and not by any other historical event ever presented in video game history (pick anything, there are thousands of games out there) then you are a hypocrite, plain and simple.

This is clearly either the work of a 4chan /b/tard who did it for the lulz, or just a guy with a twisted sense of humor.

I laughed at the first one. You gotta admit, dark, offensive comedy is pretty hilarious.

well WTF I bet you made this video yourself to garner attention for an unknown video game website

and this video doesnt matter, Little Big Planet is a horrible looking game with simple shallow gameplay mechanics, which overall looks extremely boring

Fares is saying that this video disrespects everyone that died in 9/11.. Fares must think that 9/11 is the only event that ever happened in the history of time that involved people dieing. What about world war 1 and world war 2..and the fact nearly every month a First person shooter based on a world war period is released to the public .. People dont play the game to feel bad about whats happening, people get satisfaction from killing and doing missions involving killing, The little big planet video didnt even show anyone dieing?, it showed a Block in the shape of a building exploding you can hardly call a ’sackboy’ Exploding.. some one dieing, Really get over yourself

on October 8, 2008 10:49 am

no offence but you have to search to find this, so if you was going to play this you must be looking for it, to be honest some one made this, it does not make the game bad does it, it like saying all muslims are bad because of 9/11 if you know what i mean, so this should not go aganist the game but against the person who did it, to behonest we should mock 9/11 to show that the terrist has won, so when people mock it i think it trying to show that tey have not won

ps dont judge the game over on level that some one has made,

i dont get this, if people make fun of musilms, allah and draw mohammed (sorry is spelt wrong) their big problem, you cant say that because it offenive, but when people make fun of jesus, their no problem, every one is fine, it ok if a muslim make fun of his religion and jesus, but it not ok for use to make fun of muslim,

Well, this isnt really a big deal to me, its a game…I’ll bet if this happened in any other country the U.S. wouldn’t have cared much at all, I’m kinda 50/50 on the whole conspiracy thing too…with gas going up and stuff, you think maybe thats why they went to the Middle East, and used 9/11 as an excuse…and i know there are gonna be a lot of people disagreeing, but you have to look at all the possibilities, no matter how unbelievable they are

@Ash

Im not sure what you are trying to say because your english is pretty crappy or maybe its the attempt to put 2 and 2 together. Anyways..I’m muslim…of course the “ALLAH!” part was “racist” but idc…Its a game dude…all you who think that people are dirt for finding it funny should go on somewhere. ITS A GOD DAMN GAME!! It’s people like you that keep us in the past of boo hoo. Stop bitching, grow some fucking balls and respect the little bit of free speech that we have left. I sure as hell know if I made that map, the FBI would be at my house like how they were after 9/11 happened. Cherish what you have now and stop dwelling on the past, you cant change it, no one can if you feel the need to have grief every time someone brings up the subject of 9/11, go ahead bitch and cry yourself to sleep but it gets us NO where other than places like war.

I’m not saying it’s not a big deal but, grow the fuck up… It’s a GAME! QUIT CRYING!

Where i come from in my school if you say brown or black some one will shout racist,
If one of our teacher have ago at them they start calling them racist,
i got to the point now where i think they use it as an accuse, nothing more.

but let just say this was something about th bibel adam and eve for exmaple, and some one turns it into a porno scene, or makes fun of them not wearing clothes, every one would find it funny, but no one would be offended in any way, the church mind be annoyed but we dont care
