Bully To Blacken Rockstar's Other Eye?

Tom writes "As if Hot Coffee wasn't enough for the reeling publisher, Gamespot has an article regarding the uproar starting over Rockstar's next game, Bully. Seems like the assault is coming from both sides of the pond, with anti-bullying advocates from England worried about the game causing kids to act out in classroom what they saw on the screen and with America's very own Jack Thompson calling upon Take-Two president Paul Eibeler to stop the release of the game. How will Rockstar handle the additional pressure being put upon it?"

  2. My Letter to Rockstar by DarkHelmet · · Score: 2, Funny

    Dear Rockstar:

    I understand your recent trouble with GTA: San Andreas, and the hot coffee scandal. There are many on the religious right, and so called democratic left that disliked your consentual sex scenes within the game.

    I understand you're working on a new game called Bully. From what I understand so far, you can be a Bully within the game. This sounds quite interesting, but any sort of consentual sexuality that might creep into the game might once again offend the censors.

    In response, I suggest the following:

    • Add a easter egg that contains a minigame where a bully sodomizes a nerd with a broomstick.
    • Add molesting teachers within the schoolgrounds (This will appeal to the catholic clergy).
    • For nude models, please include a cheat code to remove the blur. Please also include labia, nipples, and all those other things. After playing Sims2, I feel cheated.

    Thank you very much for reading this letter. You have my full support.

    Sincerely,
    A loyal fan

    Probably by watching their profits rise to an all-time high. Nothing beats free advertising.

    Lemonade? Please. I made it just for you. You are my best friend. Mm, this really hits the spot. Doesn't it, though. You make really good lemonade, Scratchy.
    Oh, thank you, Itchy.
