I think it’s great that Hasbro has finally updated the board game Clue with characters ripped from today’s headlines, like wealthy socialite Kasandra Scarlet and former football player Jack Mustard. And while I question some of the things they kept in the game—has rope ever really been a popular murder weapon?—I also feel like they missed a few opportunities for revamped suspects: 1) Felicity Peacock, the once-virginal Disney star who now splits her time between rehab and soft-core porn. Weapons of choice: white zinfandel and a Porsche 911 Turbo. 2) Mel Green, the Oscar-winning director whose anti-Semitic flareups are as incriminating as his propensity for calling homicide investigators “sweet-tits.” Weapon of choice: the one true cross. 3. Nick Nolte. Weapon of choice: A big sweaty headbutt.
