Much has been written concerning the new video game from Rockstar Games/Take-Two entitled "Bully". Hell, people were condemning the game, calling for it's banning, etc, before it was even close to release. Well, a lot of these aforementioned people were disappointed when they discovered that the game was not what they were expecting (hoping, actually, since such people thrive on creating controversy). This howling and gnashing of teeth well prior to this game's release is undoubtedly because Rockstar Games is the maker of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" and it's infamous "Hot Coffee Mod" which unlocked normally unseen graphic sexual encounters among the game's animated characters. The resulting imbroglio from parents groups and other conservative dullards resulted in the game being recalled and the scenes removed from the game.

Well, it seems that there is going to be more rabble rousing from the various bully (no pun intended) pulpits as latest word hits the streets of Rockstar's latest controversy: "Bully" has the potential for (gasp!) boys kissing.

Yeah, if teh pixel sex0rz in GTA:SA was enough to ignite the Prude Squad into a hellfire of insanity, then this latest issue to hit the streets is sure to whip them into a giddy froth of potential busybody-ness. Imagine: allowing the players to interact in a non-conventional but plausible, non-violent form to move ahead in the game. Since this method flies in the face of what certain people feel is normal, they are certainly bound the make a mountain out of teenage acne bumps with this one. In the meantime, game sales should be very brisk. You know, that whole 'no such thing as bad publicity' thing.

And no one picked up on God of War for the PS2, the main character has a three way with two other women and you get "money" from it. So is it ok to be a man-whore with two she-johns? Prude squad, f them. From the lovely Ms. Cho, these people are so BUSY. Get a life. If you disagree with it, don't buy it.

It never ceases to amaze me that these people find the time to look into these things. Between the hatemongerin' and sheeple-leadin', I figured they wouldn't have time for video games, yanno?
