ABC: Target stores won't sell 'Manhunt 2'


It's fun for me to think about a room full of Target executives sitting around and making a decision about whether a video game is too violent for it to sell.

They sell R rated movies don't they? They sell horror books? How many of these executes actually played Manhunter 2 (my guess: 0). Oh but the moralizers on their anti-video game campaign are out in force. I should ask them how the campaign against comic books (1960s) R and XXX-rated movies (1970s) Dungeons and Dragons (1980s) is going. The hypocrisy is so thick you can walk on it.

If they want to ban Manhunter 2 they should do it on whether its any good. Which it isn't.

This is a load of bull. The violence in Manhunt 2 is no more than in those R rated horror films like Saw and Hostel.
