Grand Theft Auto Ban To Be Decided By Courts
Wingchild writes "Haitian civil rights groups in Florida have filed a lawsuit with the circuit court in Palm Beach County, which Rockstar Games has asked to be moved up to a federal court for a final decision on whether or not their game has to be banned from stores. This move happens as the court of media opinion begins weighing in on the subject (facts irrelevant, of course), a fact which Slashdot Games noted a scant two days ago."
It's funny that the US of A are always like "land of the free, freedom of speech and shit" but there is no way you'll see the smallest part of a nipple (female, duh!) on TV even late at night and you can't say so-called 'dirty' words, even when they would be used in real life situation. Here in Quebec, you may be surprised to see full frontal nudity anytime of day and people don't get blipped on TV. Violence is of course something we do NOT encourage but at least our reaction is not "let's hide it and act as if it's not there". We'd rather use the "let's sit and talk about it" approach. Just my 2 cents.
