I don't have access to post news, so if someone that does can post this for me I'd really appreciate it!
Title: Save Manhunt 2! Sign the petitions!!!
Petition1 (http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/stop-the-bbfc-ban-on-manhunt-2.html) 448+ Signatures
Petition2 (http://www.petitiononline.com/RSGMH2/petition.html) 247+ Signatures
Petition3 (http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/manhunt2) 1000+ Signatures
Taken from gopetition.co.uk (http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/stop-the-bbfc-ban-on-manhunt-2.html):
"The BBFC have banned the game Manhunt 2, saying it is 'Morally irresponsible'. Even though many ultra violent/graphic films such as 'Hostel 2' have been awarded 18 certificates Manhunt has been shunned.
It seems that the BBFC has fallen prey to political pressure over this game, with many people suggesting that the original Manhunt was the cause of a stabbing of a 14 year old boy in 2004; even though a police investigation determined the motive of the stabbing was robbery, and the only relation between the game Manhunt and the attacker was that he owned a copy*.
*Many people have commented that it was the 14 year old victim who owned a copy of the game and not the attacker. At the moment though I am only going by what the BBC have reported on the incident (See sources).
