Naughty Privates Looks Doubtful for Xbox Live

It would be a crime against humanity for this to not come out. Vagina, education and venereal disease! What else could you want?
Maybe the game will make you view that with less envy...Loop Stricken said:

It's not massively classes as irony, it would be ironic if Microsoft banned it because it would 'give the youth these ideas' or some such crap.Treblaine said:
And the irony in that song was that how people (especially Americans) don't 'get' irony, hence the lines "Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic? And you're way too thick."
Those game developers have a great sense of humour, although not a game I'd get, why should it be banned? I mean, the images being presented aren't pornographic, and although saying it is educational is treading on thin ice, I think Xbox would be stupid to say they are going to probably ban it.
I remember back in school we used to watch this sex ed video by channel 4, and trust me it is far more awkward and crude than this videogame is likely to be, (but that is because it is brutally honest, and we British shy away from topics like these! XD).
So... they let Dante's Inferno onto their system, a game about going through Hell, even through the LUST layer, yet they draw the line at Privates?

Now what is DEFINITELY Ironic is people take Morriset's song as an example of American stupidity even though she herself is Canadian.Evil the White said:
I think the song itself is Ironic, in that she writes and performs a song all about Irony yet fails to know even the definition, but it isn't ironic for the wider audience to fail to understand it, the audience aren't expected to know anything, if they are stupid they are just stupid. You'd expect a singer to know what they are singing about.
Also she never sang in any version of the song:
"Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic? And you're way too thick."
more like:
"Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic, don't you think."
or
"Isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic? and, yeah, I really do think..."
Makes sense considering "you're thick" is not a known or used phrase in Canadian or American dialects. It's distinctly British/Australian. And considering her other statements, admitting her malapropism, it seems she really was completely confused about the definition of Irony.
Which by the way is:"1: use of words which are clearly opposite to one?s meaning in order to be amusing or to show annoyance. 2: a course of events or a condition which has the opposite result from what is expected"
And since this is referring not to an Ironic Statement but an ironic event I think this scenario does apply as Ironic.
Since the aim was: "To educate those most vulnerable to STDs, pregnancy and so on"
yet "Those most at risk (XBL jocks) are denied access and leaving only those least at risk (Isolated computer nerds) with access"
I advise we start building a bunker now for when this video game inevitably finds its way to the Fox News desk and the shit begins to fly...
