Report: Manuel Noriega sues over depiction in "Call of Duty" video game

Former Panamanian military strongman Manuel Noriega is suing a video game company for using his name and depicting him as a "murderer" in a popular video game, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday, the newspaper reported, Noriega accuses Activision Blizzard Inc. of portraying him as a "kidnapper, murderer and enemy of the state" in the top-selling video game "Call of Duty: Black Ops II."

The 80-year-old Noriega says the portrayal of him and use of his name "translates directly into heightened sales" for Activision, according to the lawsuit.

 

Maybe if he was a good little boy and not embarrass the CIA with his little drug dealing operations we wouldn't have kicked his ass and then further humiliate him in video game form. Oh yeah it doesn't help either when you were clearly voted out of office yet still cling on via brute strength.

Cry some more. At least we didn't kill you in a bed with some random whore like we did Castro in the game.

What's next? Terrorist groups suing video game makers for portraying them as "sick, violent, criminal fanatical zealots"?
