I agree with much of what you say, but...

Did you get to the point where they ask you to sing "Star Spangled Banner"? That's where I gave up.

Or... A US PayPal account. That worked for me (well, I don't have my code yet, but I have received an email confirming my order)!

Not really, you have to look for these things...

It's sad but the law doesn't work if people say "it's bad to do this" so they got to show what would happen and make it as unpleasant as possible.

Sigh. Way to turn a stupid kid into a hardened criminal. Stupid judge should get jail time for the long term damage she has caused, which goes far beyond the few thousand dollars of damage this kid caused.

Does this mean a voice actor just lost their job?

Also, I disagree with your statement "Everyone has the occasional violent thought." Humans aren't inherently evil.

Many people have the thoughts and say them from time to time.

And being fired is like going to jail how exactly?

No, the first question was just a joke. Hence the smiley.

That's the first one I've ever seen

Yeah. The ugly ones at least should have been banned.

Seriously? Why?

Holy fuck Microsoft are trying hard right now

And yet last time I was there for Mardi Gras, the police were arresting girls for flashing their boobs. Have they lightened up on that yet?

Plus, homosexuality has been discovered to be both genetic and contagious, so eventually everyone will be gay

Amiga CD32?

The word wasn't "hijacked"... It simply changed its meaning. Like many many words have changed meaning over the course of history.That's what it means to have a living language, and it's a good thing, not a bad thing (because the language changes to reflect changing cultures).

Nah, you guys all got it wrong. It's banned because it's a crap game, and the Aussie government knows we have better things to spend our money on (like, you know, taxes).
