Brazil Judge Bans Video Game “Bully”

Bully Screen

Rockstar just can’t catch a break. Manhunt has issues in the UK and now Bully is getting ganked in Brazil. Apparently the violence in Bully is just too much for Brazilians to handle at this time?

A judge has suspended the sale of the video game Bully in Brazil on the grounds that its content is too violent for young children and teenagers, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Judge Flavio Rabello prohibited the game from being imported, distributed, sold or promoted on Web sites and stores in Latin America’s largest nation on Friday, Rio Grande do Sul state prosecutor Alcindo Bastos said, adding that they would have 30 days to comply with the order.

Of all of the titles Rockstar has dropped, Bully is probably the most tame one of all, since it revolves around a kid being in school. I can’t believe that the game is being banned in a country that invented the thong and Brazilian wax, and lets not mention one of the highest percentages of transgender individuals. A video game is the least of your worries.

Thanks to Princess O for the tip.

    Thats what Im saying…drugs, transgenders, theft, and a dengue outbreak today cause they have mad mosquitos and a movie where they steal body parts and they are worried about a video game just because it takes place in a school ground…

    Sorry but the thongs and bikini wax is a must have, everything else I dont care for…oh wait, the caipirinha & samba is a must have too!
