HELLO! Boy on Boy kissing in Rockstar's game Bully.

All this game is missing now is some flag burning to make the conservative's heads explode. :P

I have to admit that I was believing the negative hype about this game being a GTA for kids, Columbine Simulator, etc. but from what I've read in reviews, the game is ALOT tamer than the politicians and family protection groups would lead you to believe. And the option to kiss girls AND boys is a pretty bold move on Rockstar's part. Something I'm sure the parent groups didn't see coming (And I doubt most know about yet). Positive review here:

Kudos Rockstar! I'm picking this up this week!

Anyone else get this yet?

1. Oh my God! The homosexual agenda has...
...penetrated even the pristine sanctity of videogames! Is there no stopping the insidious insertion of homosexuals into the very fundament of of our entertainment outlets?

Think of the children (but not in a Mark Foley way)!

2. We penetrated the pristine sanctity of videogames years ago.
We did it with The Sims. Yep, gay people pairing up and adopting children in videogames for several years now.

4. Noooooooo....
....say it ain't so! Now where can I go for some uncomplicated heterosexual mass murder and mayhem, without having to be aware of conflicting motivations and alternative points of view? I want my world simple, damn it!!

5. Grand Theft Auto is heterosexual and awesome!
Beating up virtual hookers and stealing cars is amazingly satisfying.

6. Thank God some games still...
...promote traditional values. Where would our country be without car theft, murder, vice and drugs? Now lets hear no more of homosexuality in games. It's positively unAmerican.

Someone pass me my BFG.

9. I like playing Vice City with the Mercedes Cortez cheat
Tommy keeps his usual voice, so it's like I'm an angry drag queen mowing down yuppies. :D

I can't keep up with that series. :)

11. Yep.
It's my favorite because it's one big paean to the 80s. It lampoons so much of '80s pop culture.

I also suspect Rockstar is left-leaning if not liberal all together because, while they make fun of everyone in the GTA games, it seems like right wingers get the brunt of it. My favorite Vice City mission involves taking blackmail photos of the family values Repuke congressman in drag with a porn star.

12. Now it can be told- Mario and Luigi: not really brothers.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

7. YES. Flag burning is a terrific idea.....AND little fork lifts, where the
object is you see how many ten commandment granite slabs you can dismantle and remove from public buildings...BONUS points if you roll over any fundamentalist protesters.
