"yeah, so i guess it is ok to yank a video game that was sold without the programmed access to this games dirty content, but leave all the other R-rated films containing extreme violence and ‘american’ nudity on the shelves right next to it…any one of which can also be modified to anyone’s desire via computers in any way desired by savvy pc users.-and without a access mod or code!
