Gordon Copeland is an arse

[RantyDave]

What a tool.

Independent MP and twat Gordon Copeland has called for GTA4 to be banned. Despite that fact that thousands of people have it already and are skiving work to play it even as we speak. Type. Whatever.

http://stuff.co.nz/4503711a28.html

"It is time to reverse the tide of violence in New Zealand" said Mr Copeland, carefully avoiding his equally strong stance on his right to hit children (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/1/...ectid=10440050).

So, fellow bikers, I call for a movement to reverse the tide of intolerance in New Zealand. For too long art, in particular, has found itself falling foul of populist intolerance ... all too often freedom of expression is sacrificed in favour of headlines for a self-obsessed fiftysomething desperately straggling for power. FUCK THEM I say, while I still can. Fuck you, Gordon Copeland, and the bible you rode in on. Free expression lives on. Hopefully.

Ahh, the fun police are hard on the case.

D'ya think it's possible to download the full noise version of GTA4? I'd be kind of curious to play the full on version if I could get my hands on it.

The fact that people take a day off work to play a computer game just reinforces to me that the countrys fucked.

Agreed. The Church and State don't belong together. I don't need your God to tell me what is right, I am quite capable of making my own mind up thankyouverymuch.

Only on Consoles at the moment, PC version comes out later.

It's a sales stunt perpetrated by the GTA4 importers and Mr. Copeland. He makes these rash statements and all of the sudden GTA4 is the bees knees and nobody will notice it's a rather mediocre game... Thus sales increases and everyone are happy.

GTA who cares? Carmageddon 2 was published years ago and can be downloaded for free via BitTorrent!

[Gubb]

I've got a copy of Postal 2 lying around somewhere. That'll really piss him off.

[Clockwork]

Populist? Gordon Copeland?

Relax, he's just a sad act, desperately seeking publicity.

Well you lot voted for MMP, live with it. It only takes one wowser to get votes from 5% of the electorate (and last time 11% were stupid enough to vote green) to get on the parliamentary gravy train

[Mully]

Well you lot voted for MMP

I object. I was not allowed to vote at that election.

Jeez, people blame me for everything.

now in 800x600 resolution!!!! lol
The funniest thing is, the toned down version of GTA in NZ is BS. We just banned beating your kids yet i can still buy condemned/condemned 2 where picking up a bit of pipe/fake leg/bit of wood with a nail in it or even a locker door and go beat the shit out of some stupid druggy is common place.
That game is awesome - i suggest you try it late at night with no lights on.

Generation x was good, and a few of his earlier works were ok, but getting a bit tired in recent efforts.....

Carmageddon was better than Carmageddon 2 - pity about the graphics tho...

No comment on GTA4 but I do respect Gordon Copeland for resigning from that puppy dog party as a point of principle over that anti smacking bill. I voted for FPP as I could see MMP as essentially ''mickey mouse politics. But we are stuck with it and I d rather see dozens of Gordon Copelands compared to Bradfords and Tancztossers!
