A family in Limerick, Ireland was “horrified” to find that one of the clues about their town in University Games’ Smart Ass trivia game was that it is popularly referred to as “Stab City”. The children and grandpa were shocked.
In truth:
A) Yes, the city is popularly known as “Stab City”.
b) No, it’s actually not any more dangerous than most other areas of Ireland at this point, and the name is merely a popular historical press reference that carries on to this day.
University Games has agreed to drop the reference in the next version of the game.
