Hey Zynga, Cut It Out With This “Far East” Crap

This morning Zynga announced that it's expanding its FarmVille franchise into an exciting new territory: Orientalism! Yes, there's a new FarmVille add-on called — wait for it — Jade Falls. Now, fantasy stories set in exaggerated "Asian" locales are a familiar part of popular culture. But at least Disney (Mulan), DreamWorks (Kung Fu Panda), and BioWare (Jade Empire) offered some creativity, humor, and nuance. Jade Falls is ... something else.
