New Zealand, the people who brought us the immortal horror classic Dead Alive and master of horror Peter Jackson, have apparently decided that this was a bad move and have pulled a complete one-eighty. Independent MP Gordon Copeland is leading a charge to solve all their problems and get Grand Theft Auto Four completely banned from New Zealand.

Apparently, watering games down and charging double or more for them was no longer working as a master plan to stop all violence in New Zealand. Thus, even more drastic measures are required to stop the people of New Zealand from having fun performing thoroughly legal activities in the privacy of their own homes. Because as luminaries like Jack Thompson have made us all quite aware, video games cause violence, and if you play a video game and don’t become violent, well, that’s simply because you haven’t yet had the opportunity.

The worst part is? Thompson and crew likely think I’m serious at this point.
