Venezuelan vice president Jose Rangel is expressing his ire over a video game which he says proves that the United States is looking to invade his country and take possession of its oil supply:

The game, “Mercenaries 2: World in Flames” only comes out next year but Venezuela’s Vice President Jose Vicente Rangel has already expressed anger — at the US government.

“This shows the perversion of North American society, its government,” said Rangel on Wednesday, calling
President George W. Bush’s administration “a government of gangsters, drug traffickers and criminals”.

According to Agence France-Presse, the game depicts characters who look like Hollywood action figures invading areas that look very similar to Caracas and taking possession of oil facilities that bear a striking resemblance to those of Venezuela.
