School Moves to Block Bully

In a move which I think is RockStar Games thumbing its nose at its impotent protestors, Rockstar Games is now releasing a games called Bully. Of course, the new protest has begun:

MP attacks school bullying game:

According to the Miami Herald, School Board member Frank Bolaños proposed a resolution to pressure Rockstar into withholding the release of the action game, which is set in a reform school, asking local merchants not to carry the game and urging parents not to buy the game.

''This game is built entirely around bullies and is staged in a school -- it's the antithesis of everything we're trying to promote,'' he said.

ha ha ha!

I'm amused that RockStar Games is plumbing the well to those depths, and also that people still think that government or organized dissent can achieve what their own failed parenting wasn't able. The question isn't whether they will be more relevant in a group; I'm wondering if this effort will truly assuage the unconscious guilt they must feel when they discovered their neglected little angels were already hellions at school. This way, at least, they have a scapegoat to focus on.

Update: Even Jack Thompson, who I'm sure everyone has written about before, is on this bandwagon. I'm sure his voice of reason will make the difference. Didn't he sue PvP because they parodied him?
