*walks into a random Wallmart in the US*
WM employee: "can I help you?"
me: "yeah...I want to buy BMX XXX"
WM employee: "sorry, Walmart's accross North America have banned that game"
me: "oh....that sucks.....can I have a shotgun?"
WM employee: "eisle seven  "
Kinda makes you think, doesn't it...Having a gun and therefore the ability to shoot and kill someone is okay, but BOOBIES are off limits.

omg, did you just say BOOBIES!?!?!?! dear god no!!! i will not tolerate this filth, please someone edit his post so i can remedy my virgin eyes....
seriously though, you're right. nobody seems to think massive killing and horrible destruction is necessarily a bad thing anymore.
"ok, we can watch that WW2 movie with tons of death and slaughtering in history class, but if i see a boob the movie is going off!!!"

I agree...
People are stupid...
"I'd rather let my kid see a bunch of people getting slaughtered before I let them see themselves some boobies! (Even though they are on the internet anyways)"

Along with Wal Mart, Kay Bee and Toys R Us, Best Buy has also recently announced that they will not carry BMX XXX. It's all up to Electronics Boutique, now...

Well, it's a sha,e these days when folks allow you easier access to guns than they do videogames. It's just weird how this society works but eh.

Hmm...I think the exposure of Pimps, Breast, and Dogs having sex is what turns off walmart. A game with the potential for many kids to have, and of coarse the parents are clueless. Hopefully, they are more aware that there kid isnt buying real guns.
Places like walmart dont normaly sell content such as BMXXX. Last time I checked there was no Debbie Does Dallas in the movie section...

and you think that a gun is more suitable to sell than 'Debbie Does Dallas'?
and since when is the content in BMX XXX as 'unsuitable for children' as DDD?
Oh, and I've seen plenty of R rated movies with content that is much worse for children to view than polygonal dogs having sex...

Here's an idea....Kids under 18 can't get the game and they have to show I.D when they buy it?? After all the game is going to be sold anyway.
But I think the company feels that selling x rated stuff will ruin their rep. Can't remember what they call that in Management.....social responsibilty or is it ethics?? Neways that's what I think it is.

BMX XXX is rated M for mature, just like Perfect Dark was...just like most FPS are...not 'X rated'

There is no X rating... There's ec (Early Childhood), E (Everybody), T (teen), M (Mature), and Ao (Adults only)...
