Rockstar Appeals British Ban on Manhunt 2

Posted by Zonk on from the we're-not-dead-yet dept.

1up is reporting (via MCV) that Rockstar has decided to appeal the BBFC ruling on their uber-violent Manhunt 2 title. The 'next step' is to get a hearing scheduled, which will allow the game to be demo'd and arguments given. "Rockstar Games had been given six weeks to appeal the decision, and with that opportunity about to expire, the company lodged its formal appeal yesterday ... The appeal was filed with the Video Appeals Committee, which can overturn the BBFC decision. As noted in our first article about the ban, the VAC overturned the BBFC's ban of Carmageddon back in 1997, giving Rockstar a glimmer of hope in its current situation."

    I have it on good authority that Ashleee Simpson owns at least two of these, the bear shown and a monkey.

    Now I don't know about you but if Ashlee Simpson showed up at my house in one of those things, on a manhunt, I would bang her so fucking hard the lights would go out on the whole west coast. I like furries as much as the next guy but an Ashlee Simpson furry would just be the best thing ever.
