For our gaming brothers in Venezuela....

Quote:
Apparently, on March 3 congress in Venezuela passed a law that forbids the manufacture, importation, distribution, purchase, sale, rent or use of "violent" toys and videogames. But since the law is non-specific about what actually constitutes a "violent" toy or game, nearly everything that can be viewed as such is now outlawed. So retailers have pulled things like Star Wars, G.I.Joe, Transformers, Max Steel, Power Rangers, etc from their shelves!



Yeah so....the point of Mercenaries two is to overthrow Venezuela's leader....so they just banned everything. My heart really goes out to the toy collectors there too.

Hugo Chavez is very wise! How dare you question his wisdom?? wink

This move should be of no surprise to anyone at all...Chavez has been like this since before leading the country into the ground. Just don't tell Spicolli!
