Reminds me of when my sister was having a slumber party for her thirteenth birthday. She wanted our father to rent “The Lost Boys” to play. My father, being a responsible adult, watched the movie first to make sure it was okay. He deemed it scary, but safe. One guest’s mother wanted my Father’s opinion. He told her there were “a lot of scary images and situations, and there’s some violence, too. It’s a vampire movie.” “But there’s no sex, is there?” “… no. But it is pretty scary for a thirteen year old.” “Well,” the mother said, “as long as there’s no sex.” ---

I think it may have been Lenny Bruce who pointed out that if you touch a breast, that’s sex and it’s rated R; if you hack _off_ a breast, that’s violence, and it’s PG-13. ---

I don’t know if this was perhaps in a movie about Bruce, but the reality is that it’s highly unlikely that he said this. Bruce died more than two years before the ratings system went into effect. ---

Do they actually HAVE games with nudity on them for the PS2? If so give examples… Uh… not that I want to but them or anything… ---

I guess Cronker’s Bad Fur Day (or whatever the game was called) really did break down the last barriers of Nintendo. Remember the original port of Mortal Kombat for the SNES, which recolored the blood so that it looked like you were hitting dust off your opponent? ---

I think Bruce’s line (paraphrased) was that if you go up to a woman’s house, ring the bell, then punch her in the nose as hard as you can when she opens the door, you’ll get 30 days. Flash her, and you’ll get 10 years. ---

> [@Wonko The Sane](#): > > 1. On a positive note, the game does recognize that muscle, endurance and fat are affected by exercise, and sex appeal as well (there’s a graph for it, I shit you not). You can either ride a bike, run, or go to the gym, either way, exercise is good. If you overeat, you get fat, and you lose endurance, and running speed, so it’s somewhat realistic there, but that’s where it ends. Otherwise it’s a bloodfest, with plenty o’ cussin’, shootin’, and bloodlettin’ violence. Not a cerebral game, but a fun one. Woah, it sounds like a criminal versin of the Sims. ---

> [@ShockingAlberto](#): > > The Guy Game springs to mind (pun not intended). > > The PS2 version of BMX XXX doesn’t have nudity, but the Gamecube version does. No kidding? Man…I remember when Nintendo didn’t even let developers use the word “kill” in their games. (You could actually _kill_ people and things, but you couldn’t say the word “kill.”) And, as [The Expurgation of Maniac Mansion](http://www.crockford.com/wrrrld/maniac.html) notes, they even insisted on removing a tiny picture of a mummy pinup (that had absolutely no flesh exposed), and a pixelated rendition of Michelangelo’s _Dawn_. (Which was originally carved, in real life, for a Catholic chapel.) People…sheesh.
