HOW THE HELL DOES THIS COUNT AS PORNOGRAPHY?!?!?!
Porn is sex, not gory gameplay.

Now don't get me wrong, if I had a kid, I wouldn't want him playing this game until he was at least 16 but still, you're really going to stand there with a straight face and call this game PORNOGRAPHY?!?!?! Are you people high?

Does anyone leading this charge know that Castro survives and the protagonist actually ends up pretty messed up for his efforts in attacking Cuba?

Take action now or it'll - oops to late already most popular thing ever.

People have some odd notions about things but there will always be a group who expresses there odd and tangential views of things. Just grin and bear it, the first amendment protects both parties.

Why does it seem that more and more cases of these have appeared since the Supreme Court hearing of Schwarzenegger V. EMA? We had few cases of this before, but now they seem to be appearing around once a week.

QQ I FIND IT OFFENSIVE, THEREFORE IT MUST BE BANNED FOR THE GOOD OF EVERYONE ELSE.
I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANYONE ELSES OPINIONS, OR THE FACT IT'S DESIGNED AS ENTERTAINMENT VALUE AND I HAVE TO PROTECT PEOPLE WHO CAN'T DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN REAL LIFE AND MAKE BELIEVE SCENARIOS, THE SMART MUST SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE STUPID.
ME ME ME ME AND ONLY ME MAY DECIDE HOW SHIT GOES DOWN.

This is you, everyone who has found videogames offensive, now go back your films and books and praise them for being something videogames will never be because you won't let them.

PS: The caps were necessary, sorry.

TBF, and playing Devil's Advocate here, this game is gun-porn. What better money shot than pulling off something the Army couldn't do in 60(?) years.

So yeah, understandable; certainly, disrespectful; very.

But then...it's been done before.

I'm boycotting Cheerios. Since it starts with a C, and so does Castro.

Makes just as much sense to me.

Alliance for Global Justice sounds like the name for a cheesy superhero group.

OT: Bleh, this old dribble again. A group of people who have never played games in their life are blaming them for causing non-existant effects on children, despite the fact the game is rated 18, meaning children can only really get the game through their parents.

Yes.

But "role-playing" doesn't just apply to leveling-up.
For Call of Duty to suddenly be a role-playing game, they would at least have to present the player with an actual choice every now and then.
Which COD never does.
To you maybe, but to me RPGs are more statistic centric as a genre, with leveling and the like.

I'd love to see a game get made where you get to kill American Presidents...

Then we'd REALLY see if people thought it was 'just a game'
Well you do get to kill the Vice-President in one of the previous Hit-man games, none of which ever got any controversy, in Fallout 3 you can 'blow up' a President and in Fallout 1 you can kill the president...

And how in the name of sanity do games class as pornography.. when I buy pornography I expect some manner of nudity in some fashion (hypothetical statement) and are they going to try and get rid off only a game they know of or are they, god forbid, going to be level and ban all games in which you kill people..

This happens to be at least 90% of all games.. hmmm....

Do these people even have children and know what happens when you take away games... 'viva la revolution'

I think these people need to look up the definition of "pornography."

Also, it's Castro. It's not like he's a saint or anything. Also, he wasn't actually assassinated, so it's not THAT big of a deal. Controversial? Yes, it is, maybe it's borderline tasteless, but it's not like it's JFK.

There is no actual evidence that establishes a relationship of causality between violent video games and violent behaviour, only a relationship of correlation (and even that isn't as common as other more obvious signs such as "compulsive lying"; "social ineptitude"; "violent home environment between parents"; etc. that tend to have a more noticeable correlation with violent behaviour in children and teenagers).

Next discussion...

PS: I have decided to check my dictionary to teach these illiterate apes an interesting definition.

pornography: ?n
1. writings, pictures, films, etc, designed to stimulate sexual excitement
2. the production of such material

I sure do get some baging roners with CoD:BO

A pre-made letter is provided that can be mailed to local stores warning them that the game "could be considered a form of pornography to which local laws apply,"

Wowzers. Right there, that's the foundation of a solid argument. Lets broaden the definition of something so that it encompasses anything we don't like or find morally off-putting.
I don't like Justin Bieber... IT'S PORN! I don't want kids buying it so it could be considered porn now.

Torture porn... maybe... I guess... but whatever, they're full of crap. There's more realistic murder in other games and there's definitely more realistic deaths in movies. It's like, I don't know, it's like they've never even played the game or something.

Thanks Diane.

Coming up next, can you tell what the outcome of their efforts will be, we'll tell you after this but first, Peter look out for that skateboard.
Cookie for the reference.
