Rockstar does it again

As the BBC news site reports today, anti-bullying campaigners are already condemning Rockstar's school-based adventure, Bully - despite the fact that it isn't out yet, and few story or gameplay details have been revealed.

"Bullying is not a suitable theme for a game. It diminishes the suffering of victims," said someone from Bullying Online, perhaps entirely unaware that their concerns were merely contributing to the game's pre-release hype lode.

"Rockstar was not available for comment," said the reporter - clearly not experienced in dealing with Rockstar scandals. Only an amateur would waste the five minutes it takes to get a 'no comment' comment from the controversy-baiting funsters.
