Sorry, but the whole article comes off as a thinly-veiled whine session about "why are we so uptight about sex and cool with violence?" That goes doubly because it _is_ being released in the US, just not by Sony. Obviously, "censorship" or whatever has not triumphed in this situation. The risk of serious backlash was just more than Sony wanted to take - and a large company trying to avoid a potential hot potato is a time-honored tradition, not some recent invention of Jack Thompson, Hilary Clinton's save the children crew, and/or right-wing Evangelicals.<BR><BR>Some Japanese games don't get released in the US for any number of reasons, and, surprise surprise, different cultural values and tastes are a couple of the big ones. Not everything is some sort of political conspiracy.<BR><BR>-Erwos
