Poll: A penis in GTA IV, your thoughts.

[Jovlo]

I don't know if any of you have already heard about this, but apparently the DLC for GTA IV, the Lost and the Damned, contains full frontal male nudity. I could provide you a link to a video of it, but that might attract the banhammer.
If you really want to see the clip, you can find it on www.1up.com, but I warn you, the penis belongs to a rather old politician and it's not pretty.

This leads to new controversy after the hot coffee incident.
But what do you think about this? Can we allow full frontal (male) nudity in games?

I would have chosen 'I don't really care' but the 'Finally, a penis in a videogame!' option appealed to my sense of humour.

A penis? Why, I have one of those!

 

[Specter_]

If I remember correctly, it's a 18+ game.
So yes, there can be nudity.
What's so bad about it anyway? If I stand up and walk to the mirror I see a penis. If I go out, pick up a girl and have sex with her, I see breasts.
It's part of the human body, so the US (yeah, I pick on the US in these cases) should get a grip and stop being such hypocrits.

 

[Jovlo]

Just to let you know, I don't have a problem with it at all, but at 1up.com, the comments are mostly disgust and disbelieve.
Just wanted to know what you think about it.

A game where you can shoot innocent people dead, or beat them to a pulp with a baseball bat, and a penis is the bit causing controversy?

Does anyone recall the South Park episode "Good Times with Weapons"?

DON'T YOU SEE
NIPPLES ARE CORRUPTING OUR YOUTH
MORE EXPLODING NECK STUMPS GODDAMNIT
Oops, I forgot you can't say "goddamnit" without a word inbetween "god" and "damnit."
You might offend a being who may not exist.

Life itself is offensive (and deadly).

A penis like mine is, anyway. HIYO!

Oh please, you think that seeing a Penis is going to make people gay?, or the game is somehow "gay" because it contains a Penis, I think you need to look up what Homosexuality really is...

Homosexuality refers to sexual behavior with or attraction to people of the same sex, or to a homosexual orientation. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality

Notice the words in bold - I doubt anyones going to be sexually attracted to a virtual wang...having said that there are people who display lust for cartoons...

 

[GrimRox]

It's all a bit meh really. I always felt that penises aren't represented enough in videogames.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

Rockstar must be aware that a penis will cause a lot of controversy and are probably doing it to gain more publicity. I don't think it's wrong though, the game is rated 18 and a penis is just a penis. If anything, I think it's good that penises are finally making their way into the world of video games - what have they been doing all this time?

You, sir, are an idiot.

While I do agree on the missing representation of penises in videogames, I never really thought "You know what this game lacks? PENIS!". Or maybe I just play the wrong games.

Quoted for truth.

For those who haven't seen the clip, there is no sexual context in it.
It's just a man who's getting a massage, gets up to talk to someone but leaves his towel.
The whole dialogue, the camera doesn't go down and you only see his chest, but at the very end, it zooms out and you see one rather poorly done, very hairy penis.
