Yes it is. I can't even let my son (you read that read, gays hitting on my 6 year old kid.) play Little Big Planet 2 cause of you freakin weirdos. Thanks alot @ holes.

Edit: Nuke, you're probably one of those idiots. Yeah let me catch someone doing that to my kid outside of gaming. You won't see me on n4g anymore cause of a murder charge.
