I just flushed my own head down the toilet, so think what it could do to an impressionable child.

I used to watch Grange Hill as a child and had nightmares about being chased by a flying sausage with a fork in it.

Are people really offended by such trivial things or do they just like to whinge? I mean if they can't cope with the content of the Bully ad then I don't know how they dare step outside their front door. Perhaps they don't... LOL
Like many before them, I suspect those people pre-judged the advert by its title even before they saw the content. Whatever, 31 complaints out of. probably, hundreds of thousands of viewers suggests that these people really need to wake up and take a look at the real world then they'd have something to complain about. |

After watching the advert, they could have probably done without the brief scene showing the lead character slapping a weedy looking kid in the face about 3 times. That isn't exactly helping them avoid unfounded charges of glamourising bullying.
Aside from that though, I would have to agree that the people who are complaining don't actually seem to be describing what they have seen with their eyes, instead regurgitating what they have read in one or more tabloid papers. |

As long as the game sells well enough to warrant a full-on sequel, complain away! After all, no publicity is bad publicity.

Hasn't this game been out for ages anyway?
Jesus, whinging before release, whinging during release, and now more fucking whinging months after release... Well ignoring them isn't making them go away, and they obviously aren't getting tired - though I have to say, I'd be fucking knackered if I put half as much effort into policing society as some of these jumped up moralistic fuck-knuckles. |

The content of this game is tame compared to what kids in real life get up to. They aren't as impressionable or stupid as some people like to believe, just bloody cruel - kids evolved past the sort of jovial bullying portrayed in B:SE, and have moved on to knives and hardcore drugs.
Besides, nobody complains about ads for war games 'glamorising war'. Well, I guess people do, but there's no media storm about it. |
