ONLINE GAME: Foley's Follies
http://www.gsn.com/minigames/minigame.php?id=8

If you're one of the political junkies who couldn't get enough of the recent Mark Foley political scandal--in which the former Florida Congressman was discovered to have been sending sexually explicit messages to underage pages--there just might be a new game for you.

That's because GSN--the Game Show Network--has just released "Foley's Follies," a Web-based Flash game that's reminiscent of "Pac-Man," except only a lot more salacious.

The conceit goes like this: You play the now-former Congressman and are tasked with guiding him though a maze, trying valiantly to run away from a collection of pages. But when Foley runs across a "message bubble," the tables are turned: Foley begins chasing the pages. Think of the Pac-Man action when the iconic yellow pie-chart figurine gobbles one of the energy pills and then gets to chase, instead of be chased by, the ghosts.

But, wait! There's more. Ensuring that this is entirely topical, GSN has designed its game so that when Foley is chasing pages, actual quotes from some of the solicitous messages Foley is said to have sent various pages over the years appear on the bottom of the screen.
