Thumbs down Counter Strike Source & Everquest in Brazil: you've been banned

Federal Judge Carlos Alberto Simões de Tomaz of the State of Minas Gerais order the sales prohibition of CSS & Everquest and is valid throughout the national territory. According to court decision, the games are harmful to the health of consumers, and violate the Consumer Protection Code.


According to Procon (consumer's protection entity mantained by fed. government) the game "Counter-Strike" represents the war between bandits and police with impressive realism. On game, drug dealers in Rio de Janeiro kidnapped three representatives of the United Nations. The cops invaded the place and were received by bullits. " "The more killing, more points. Soundtrack is a funk prohibited," the statement continues. ROFL, map >>---> cs_rio


Electronic Arts, which distributes "Counter-Strike" in Brazil, is awaiting court notification to make an official statement. About descriptions of Procon, the company says: "items as dealers, the city of Rio de Janeiro, shantytown, funk soundtrack are not part of the original game. These changes were created by people who have no kind of connection or relation with both companies. "


-----------------------------------------------The soundtrack:
Meu vizinho jogou /My neighbour twrow
Uma semente no seu quintal /a seed on his garden
De repente brotou / suddenly grew
Um tremendo matagal / a dense forest

Quando alguém lhe perguntava / when someone asks
Que mato é esse que eu nunca vi? / wtf is this bunch of plants
Ele só respondia / he only answers
Não sei, não conheço isso nasceu ai / dunno, just growth there

Mas foi pintando sujeira/ but all f*** up
O patrão estava sempre na jogada / boss always there
Porque o cheiro era bom / 'cause smells good
E ali sempre estava uma rapaziada / and people always there

Os homens desconfiaram / cops sniffed suspicious
Ao ver todo dia uma aglomeração / all day a crowd
E deram o bote perfeito / and gave the snatch
E levaram todos eles para averiguação e daí / carrying all

Na hora do sapeca-ai-ai-ai o safado gritou / sudden a coward cry
Não precisa me bater que eu dou de bandeja tudo pro senhor/ don't hit me I said it all
Olha aí eu conheço aquele mato chefia / I knew this forest
E também sei quem plantou / whom plant it

Quando os federais grampearam / when the feds came
E levaram o vizinho inocente / and took the inocent neighbour
Na delegacia ele disse / at the precinct he said
Doutor não sou agricultor, desconheço a semente / Chief i'm not a a farmer - dunno this seed... (free translation)

They are tying to reduce violence by cutting down the access to shooter games, and I think this is right but it will have no effect, because lan houses owners dont buy these kind of games in boxes, they buy them using online sales like Steam. Most of the possible people to be affected by this kind of "violence" are kids / teenages that are used to play in lan houses, and not at home.

Comentário pessoal - será que eles não sabem que aqueles mapas com tema o Rio de Janeiro são mapas customizados??? ou estão se fazendo só para tomar uma providencia contra a violência e dizer que estão fazendo alguma coisa?

The only game that's ever going to be harmful to consumers is world of warcraft.
