A petition against the Duke

The mode Capture the Babe "did not like someone in his twelve years of development, Duke Nukem Forever has been talked about for several reasons. Now that we are one step away from the exit, he could dodge the controversy? Definitely not. Some Shelby Knox (the name promises well) became aware that the game mode has been entered by the contents a bit 'special: Capture the Babe, a capture the flag with scantily clad girls instead of the flag.

It really is not the mode itself to making her angry, but the fact that when the girls snatched and put on mo 'sack over his shoulder began to scream, the player can slap her buttocks to keep her quiet. The Knox expressed some disappointment with this way of treating women in the game, inciting violence against them, especially the younger players, thus making the humiliation suffered by the girls something nice, funny and acceptable.

These are the conditions created the petition against the sexist content of Duke Nukem Forever, which has already raised nearly five thousand signatures, which prompted the chain to Wal-Mart does not sell the game. Why Shelby has called for a boycott just a chain of shops, and has appealed to some political or legal authority? Simple, be excluded from the sale in the Walmart U.S.

sales means the death of a retail product. I wonder if this story will have any real effect. The risk is that if enough signatures were gathered, someone will expedite the removal of contents regarded as offensive and gory, with relative delay in the publication.
