Alarmists Petition to Ban Sales of Duke Nukem Forever from Wal-Mart

In the wonderful magical world of Duke Nukem Forever's controversy, yet another wonderful example of half-cocked knee-jerk responses has revealed itself. A petition to BAN THE SALE OF THE GAME from Wal-Mart is being circulated online. At the time of the publishing, the online petition has 3,068 signatures and climbing.

HAHAHA, no.

[AntoineDcoolette]

I'll lol if the main stream media does an inadvertent massive and free marketing campaign for DNF, with the intent of 'warning parents', like it did with Grand Theft Auto 3

[SuperStrokey1123]

DUKE FTW!

[LiquidSnack]

Sure, sell war games where you can kill countless people but slap a womans ass and you've crossed the line

[RememberThe357]

Thats conservatives for yah.

[Lindsey]

LMAO - agreed.

Neo-Cons to be exact.

[Quickstrike]

I didn't know Hillary Clinton was a conservative or a Neo-con, remember when Hot Coffee was going on? I do, she was one of the leaders on wanting to ban GTA SA

And she's a liberal. So it's not just one side wanting things banned.

[RememberThe357]

I'm not either so I don't really care what side I poke at. But generally, from what I've seen, liberals are more accepting of art than conservatives. Hense the whole conservatives cutting art programs throughout our country thing.

The fox news lies strike again

[DrFUD]

But Walmart has the Duke trucker hat as a pre-order bonus.
T-shirts and Hats are always better than unlock codes

[sickbird]

ahaha trucker hats, walmart really knows their market.

[CernaML]

Bahahahaha!

[Urrakia34]

Not really sure what you mean by that comment.....

[rumplstilts]

@ Urrakia34

Rednecks, Trailer Trash etc. You know, the scum you typically see when perusing a Wal-Mart.

[cochise313]

People always protest things that don't matter, but never tackle the real issues. They should ban movies and magazines if this is an issue.

[clrlite]

It's great free publicity though and will get at least the kids interested in this game. Either way, their priorities seem to be a bit askew like you mentioned.

[theonlylolking]

I think fox news just laughs(hopefully) at how these people just see someone complain(probably not actually complaining) so they get on the train and try to ban it.

or

Fox news actually want it banned so they start up the ban train.

[Serjikal_Strike]

F**K WALMART!

Duke Nukem FTW!

[HINDERIZATION]

3,068 signatures? that's nothing special lol

[TheColbertinator]

Hey petitioners,blow it out your ass!

[No Way]

Stupid people ..

[Phantasm]

As the great Roddy Piper once said... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[FlareDReborn]

Duke Nukem Banned Forever.

[Pozzle]

It's kind of scary that people will protest against a game for being sexist, but have no problem with the hundreds/thousands of games that revolve solely around killing people.

Personally I have no problem with either type of games, but geez...priorities people!

[CrimsonEngage]

Wal-mart doesn't care about 3,000 women who signed an online petition. Just like they don't care about women who actually work at wal-mart. They want that money.

[Rocket Sauce]

Hey, look, free advertising!

[TBONEJF]

I HERE WORK AT A WAL-MART STORE IN ELECTRONICS DEPT. AND I SAY HELL NO. and they will CONTINUE TO SELL DUKE NUKEM. AS A GAMER WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. And I will be buying DUKE NUKEM.

[Dan50]

If SCOTUS says video games are vile sickening filth then the government can outlaw these games entirely.

[Rhezin]

DUKE DUKE DUKE DUKE DUKE! (NO NOT DUKE THAT AZ WHOOPED IN THE SWEET 16) DUKE NUKEM!

[Krakn3Dfx]

Since I would never support the Dark Redneck Welfare Empire that is Wal-Mart, I will totally sign this petition and then just order the game on Amazon.

[Lindsey]

This is so stupid. People always seem to want to pick on games by saying they are objectifying women. What about every other commercial, movie, song, etc? Themes in games are representations of society at large. It's the same thing with music and movies. Video games are the least of these peoples worries.

[Visari]

Is Duke Nukem gonna have to slap a bitch?!

[anthem]

Im down let me sign Duke is to cool for wal-mart

[SeraphimBlade]

Calm down! Get a hold of yourself!

[rumplstilts]

+ Bubs

[Freddy_Millz1]

Pfft, dont they know that petitions dont do shit but make everyone who were dumb enough to sign it, look like a douche-cock?

See you all at Walmart for your copies of Duke Nukem!

[TheMutator]

ban this 8======D

[JD_Shadow]

Geohot!

(trying to see if just mentioning his name proves just why this sort of kneejerking exists)

[sickbird]

[Masterchef2007]

Shake it Baby

I'm sure Gearbox is loving all the free publicity. Going to make this game even bigger now that it's becoming a household name because of stupid shit like this. Way to go Foxnews!
