No Spanking Please We’re British

I wrote a couple of weeks ago a bout a new game created by Ubisoft for the Wii and Playstation 3.  The game involved a cartoon character being propelled through the platform game by spanking.

At the time there was a bit of a furore because the game had been classified as being age 12.  There was a public outcry (don’t some people like to moan about the slightest thing? ) and even seniour politicians got in on the act, demanding that the game be kept off the shelves in the UK.

Well the protesting has worked and now Ubisoft have withdrawn the UK from the market.  We will be joining the USA who are also not going to be releasing the game, although they are still planning to release it in Europe.

Why is this country so uptight?  What do you think to this?
