Johnny has a very dangerous willie.
--  tseng

The most controversial of all ZZT games is none other than draco's Teen Priest series - its lewd humor is detested by many, but most oldbies hail it as a classic.  Full of sexual and racial jokes, as well as a total disregard for human life, Teen Priest is as infamous as a game can be.
      And the most infamous scene in the series, and the most hated, is the scene where Johnny, a young law enforcement officer, humiliates a black man, shouting "It's Guliani time!"

      Offensive?  Yes.  Rascist?  No.  The purpose of Teen Priest isn't to spread a rascist message.  The brutality of the game is gratuitous to the point where it can't be taken seriously.  The scene doesn't celebrate police hatred - it openly mocks it, portraying it as ridiculous, frivolous.
      The humor of Teen Priest won't appeal to all, naturally, as is the case with any popular game.  But Teen Priest provides the crude humor many in the scene enjoy.  The debate may last as long as ZZT does, but draco will always remain a figure of legend in the scene, for good or for ill.
