Bully is creating a storm of controversy across the pond, as well as here in the U.S.

In recent weeks, GP has detailed the objections of British Labour MP Keith Vaz to Rockstar's controversial title. Now, as reported in Hastings Today, a second member of Parliament has joined vaz in calling for a ban on Bully.

Michael Foster, a Labour Party member who represents Hastings and Rye, believes Rockstar's game could glamorize bullying and lead to negative incidents in local schools.

"I know from my constituents how harmful bullying is and what pain it causes young people, Foster said. "This game allows the person playing it to take on the persona of a bully, able for instance to kick and punch other pupils and spit in their food. I think that can only encourage young people to find pleasure and excitement in abusing others... I understand the company has suggested the game might have an 18 rating but we all know this does not stop children accessing them."

Foster's sentiment was echoed by Liz Carnell, director of Bullying Online, who said, "Our view is that bullying is not a joke. It is not a suitable subject for computer games."

For its part, an unnamed Rockstar spokesperson told the paper, "We support and admire the groups who are working hard to address the long-standing problem of bullying. We all have different opinions about art and entertainment, but everyone agrees that real-life school violence is a serious issue which lacks easy answers... More and more people are beginning to recognize the stories in video games have as many themes and plotlines as books and movies."
