ESRB responds to 'partial nudity' in Halo 2 Vista

We know you guys were probably sitting silently in the dark, waiting for QJ to cover this portion of the recent "partial nudity" development while Dracula was asleep. But first, we'd like to clarify what exactly the partial nudity was: someone's pair of fleshy buns.

ESRB responds to 'partial nudity' in Halo 2 Vista - Image 1 


Now what Microsoft did say about the game's delay was that they were addressing installation smoothness and other technical facets of Halo 2 for Windows Vista, and not something way off key from the technical department as a bare bottom of an intern or developer. Or is that the guy behind Master Chief?

Now definitely it was the ESRB that really sparked the ruckus and the same reason why Microsoft's white just turned beet-red for bearing someone's nether regions over its flagship operating system. The ESRB was claimed to be "notified" by Microsoft about a certain incident (if you can call it that) that probably might catch the eyes of unsuspecting parents.

The ESRB took the image as partial nudity, asking Microsoft to bare 'Partial Nudity' upon the label of the ESRB sticker of the game. It seems though that many other sites interpreted the idea too wrongly and considered the possibility that either Master Chief forgot to slap armor over his merchandise or Cortana wasn't translucent enough. Latter would have made our day. Really.

ESRB considered it another "hidden content" issue, just like that of the Hot Coffee controversy, and took steps to ensure that the game was properly labeled to inform parents that a highly popular game was coming with someone's particularly successful efforts of mooning.

Thanks to Kotaku for the bottoms...err...heads up!

Why the hell should they rate what is not in the game? It's like rating a cd SATANIC because it says "I'LL KILL YOU" if you play it rewind... wait, it's impossible... lol

Anyway, it's stupid, and to stop this, the game companies should put "illegal to modify, cheat or crack" so it would be illegal to "see" the "hidden" thing. So if a mother says "Hey, my son say this", they will be able to say: "your son will go in prison, you stupid". lol

Spare us from somebody's bare bottom... I don't think any reasonable human being could withstand such a thing!!
