Is this wrong?

GTA 4 is a lot of fun though. Its totally outrageous and OTT - but strangely satisfying to be able to punch-out random pedestrians with no consequences.

Sort of thing that BY does in real life (or claims to).

There's a lot of underground video games out there. One of the first I believe was a game for the Atari 2600 where General Custer binds and rapes an Indian woman. Of course, this was all just blocks....pretty crude graphics.

.....

Ah, here it is:

There's little to defend in Custer's Revenge, other than the fact that it serves as a remarkable example of just how early video game controversies existed and how controversy alone can sometimes make a game--but not always. The Atari 2600 game shipped in the early '80s and pushed all the wrong (or possibly right) buttons. The gameplay, graphics, and technical merit of the game were so bad, that were it not for the explicit nature of the game, it's doubtful anyone would even remember it.

In the game, you played as a comic facsimile of General George Armstrong Custer, the infamous 19th-century military officer who contributed to a seedier side of American history until he met his (and his entire unit's) death at Little Big Horn in 1876 at the hands of Native Americans. As the game version of Custer, you embarked on little more than a rape romp, as you ran literally across the screen from "enemy" arrows toward a Native American woman strapped to a pole. Once there, Custer would get it on with (or, according to many critics, "rape") the woman for points. Game over.

Author Tom Moriarty reported in the October 1983 issue of Videogaming and Computergaming Illustrated ("Uncensored Videogames: Are Adults Ruining It For The Rest Of Us?") that in October 1982, outside the New York Hilton, where retailers and the press were gathered to see Custer's Revenge, "250 women and men gathered to protest that activity." Kristen Reilly, a leading member of Women Against Pornography, organized the protesters, with help form the National Organization for Women (NOW) and the American Indian Community House. Reilly told Moriarty, "The game features an enactment of a white male, General Custer, ravishing an Indian Woman who is tied to a post. Once there was a lot of furor over the game, the company (American Multiple Industries) denied that it was rape. They claimed that it was mutually consenting visual images, which is really asinine."

Being that console games were so new to the public, angry protesters and disenchanted parents weren't entirely sure where to point their fingers in the case of Custer's Revenge. Many pointed at Atari, holding the console maker responsible. According to Moriarty's article, Atari filed a lawsuit against AMI/Mystique for "wrongful association" of Custer's Revenge to the Atari 2600.

While Custer's Revenge sat in court and (if it sold at all in retail venues) sat behind the counter, Mystique released two additional "X"-rated games. One was Beat 'Em and Eat 'Em, somewhat styled after Kaboom, only giving way to another sexual-antics-for-scoring play motif. Bachelor Party was the other, involving hitting on women in mass quantities. Mystique closed its operations shortly after the release of Bachelor Party.

Interesting, wow I had never heard about that.

Clearly gamers are a bunch of sick fvckeejits

There you go again with your sweeping generalizations. Sick fvckeejits just find different avenues to get their fix.

Games always allow you to do outrageous things - I had an old flight sim game on the Amiga that had a mission that involved protecting Air Force One.

I would always shoot it down with the guns, and then ram the escort plane so that the guy had to eject.

makes you really wonder about those that do the graphics for those games.

In college, our library had a great collection of old black and white animations from the 30's. I remember one that had two guys sword fighting with their peckers.

Have you ever heard of Warner Bros. cartoon, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarfs?

The original Ren and Stimpy cartoon is actually pretty subversive. I have it on DVD.

My husband is polluting my son's mind with Ren and Stimpy. They think it's hilarious...

The first few seasons of the original show was (though John K did a new version of the show a few years ago which was total garbage) - though watching it is often a lot like listening to nails on a chalkboard.

Some of the sketches are hilarious though in a really grim way - Rubber Nipple salesmen, (anything with Walter Cobb) and Powdered Toast Man.

Presumably, you are on the same wavelength as Mr Horse.

"No sir, I don't like it."

Mr. Horse has variously been a victim of a fall from a skyscraper, a GI returning from war in love with a sheep, a dog-show judge, a neighbor hiding a dark past, and a tester for Gritty Kitty cat litter. He has also been portrayed as a psychiatrist.

Our college library had Nude on the Moon and one with a young Harvey Korman but I can't remember the name. They were billed as art films so they could show topless women.

Powdered Toast Man

Packed with Vitamin F.

Don't forget the Scot who had to have his wallet surgically removed.

I think there was one where PTM had to grant the dying wish of a terminally ill child who wanted to meet the President of the United States. So he kidnaps the president and flies him halfway around the world so fast that when gets there the President has disintegrated into a steaming pile of bones and offal.

I don't know how old you are, but I'm 42 and I remember the old Tom & Jerry cartoons as well as some WB's that depicted racial stereotypes of blacks. They won't show them anymore on regular TV, but I bought a collection of Tom & Jerry, unedited, with an introduction from Whoopi Goldberg who believes there is an historical significance to keeping the original cartoons intact.

Just like the classic Disney animated film, Song of the South. Last time I checked, Disney will not sell it here in the states, but you can buy it in Japan. Crazy.
