Ok, so who's this Keith Vaz guy? Gamepolitics says he's some Labour MP working with noted-fuckhead-lawyer Jack Thompson to kill off certain games, or at least minimize their sales.

So far, Rockstar's Bully is the target, but he also went after Manhunt, et al.

Keith Vaz was also disgraced as a Minister for a citizenship scandal. So any chance of another MP paying attention or lending him credence is unlikely.

Vaz is your typical bent rent-a-quote gobshite MP who likes to see his name in the newspapers. This is unlikely to go anywhere unless we get an amusing spate of Bully inspired bullying, but from the lack of pre-publicity I'm thinking Bully's going to be shite anyway.

In Rockstar's defence the bullying hype is already around, especially after that girl got her face slashed in school for standing up to a bully. So R* will probably say they're reflecting society rather than influencing it.
