(Topeka, Kansas) The son of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
(D) is peddling a board game titled 'Don't Drop the Soap,' a prison-themed game
he created as part of a class project at the Rhode Island School of Design.
John Sebelius, 23, has the backing of his mother
and father, U.S. Magistrate Judge Gary Sebelius. Sebelius spokeswoman Nicole
Corcoran said both parents "are very proud of their son John's creativity
and talent."
John Sebelius is selling the game on his Internet
site for $34.99, plus packaging, shipping and handling. The contact information
on the Web site lists the address of the governor's mansion. Corcoran said the
address will change when John Sebelius moves.
The game also goes on sale starting Jan. 31 at a
shop called Hobbs in the college town of Lawrence.
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.'"
Corcoran said John Sebelius sought legal advice
to be sure he followed proper requirements, and he even took out a loan on his
own to pay for the production of his work.
"This game is intended for mature audiences
- not children - and is simply intended for entertainment," Corcoran said.
