Saying that they suck is a sexual reference? 0_o

Sexual reference? No.

One might say "suck" is a harsh word, though, when used in a certain way.

I don't usually say "sucks". Words like that "inhale vigorously".

"...when used in a certain way."

That's what I'm meaning. I'm not meaning "sucks like a vacuum."

It SEEMS like a possible reference... really because of the ellipses after "suck."

Look at it this way, If a person orders a lasagna dinner and specifically asks for no meat, gets it twenty minutes late, and there is meat in it, they would say that the service there "sucks". Fuzzies are the suckiest bunch of sucks to ever suck... HP. And that isn't sexual in the least.

[edit]Also, GTA:SA is really fun. It has a good controll scheme and good gameplay, and as mentioned, incredible open-endedness. And anyways, the violence isn't very graphic or realistic when compared to what's seen in movies with teen ratings.

One more thing you neede to consider is the fact that young parents these days might be gamers.As the gaming generation gets older we will be the parents, so I don't think theres anything to worry about

A little fairy once told me that Super Mario Bros. will get an M rating because it shows violence to Goombas and Koopas.

Yeeehhhhp.

Ah, right, forgot about this thread.

Two things:

1. In response to Trainman's post, though the whole situation cannot happen, consoles wouldn't matter. If they decided to ban because of something that happened on a movie on a DVD, then that would be DVD, VHS and cinema gone for you, even if it went straight to DVD. But again, it would be unconstitutional. And if they decided to ban the whole danged medium, Mario would most certainly go along with it.

2. "sucks", as in "I didn't get to do my homework and I got an F. That sucks." is most certainly derived from sexual reference, but has found its way into a strange grey area because little children say it who don't know the first thing about sex.

EM is right, smfan1085 is wrong. That's basically it.

smfan1085 · « **Reply #42 on:** September 07, 2005, 09:17:28 PM »

Care to explain why, Chupperson???

Gah, thank you so much, EM, for completing my thought. That was exactly what I was going for. Kudos.

Oh, come now. It's hardly a "reference" if what you're saying has nothing to do with the "reference" and you and the people who hear it don't think about what's being "referenced".

The word "gun" is actually a reference to a Scandinavian woman's name. When we talk about guns, are *any* of us thinking about Scandinavian women? No, and that's why I wouldn't call it a reference, either.

In conclusion: Goombella never made a sexual reference.
