Rockstar gets Bullied

Trouble continues for Rockstar as protests of its upcoming Bully continue.

A number of registered charities including Bullying Online are protesting Rockstar Games' upcoming schoolyard brawler Bully, accusing the publisher of mocking serious issues in its new game.

Rockstar responded to the criticism by saying that the game's content is no worse than that of British daytime TV show "Just William", though the game is expected to receive an adult rating. US Retailers have already been accepting pre-orders for buyers under the age of 18.

Representatives from Bullying Online regard this matter as serious, saying that the charity deals with several children everyday that are contemplating suicide over school bullying in the UK.

Last week, a protest group called the "Peaceoholics" marched on Rockstar's New York office in an effort to call attention to Bully and its content.
