Well, that picture certainly was…um…
‘sexy’…no, that’s not it…
‘arousi…’ …hmmm… that’s no better
AH!
“DISTURBING!”
Yeah, that’s the word I was looking for.
Yeesh, those HAVE to hurt!.
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.
“Horrible, deplorable violence is okay, as long as we don’t see any naughty parts!”
–paraphrased from Sheila Brovlovski
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.
Ewan McGregor said on the Tonight Show-You can show someone taking a machine gun and turning a crowd of people into hamburger, but heaven forbid you show a guy’s dick.
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…
The Guy Game springs to mind (pun not intended).
The PS2 version of BMX XXX doesn’t have nudity, but the Gamecube version does.
Really? 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.
Woah, it sounds like a criminal versin of the Sims.
I often referred to GTA III back when I was playing it as Sim Petty Thug.
I believe you mean
18"IBDHJD.
Don’t you?
Indeed I did. thwack
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 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.
