A couple of teenagers in Ontario Canada have started a petition to get Rockstar's Bully banned from store shelves. Katie Neu, 14, and 17 year old Robert Frenette met after he discovered the girl had written a book on bullying. Bonding over their personal experiences being picked on, the two decided to join forces against a common foe - a video game neither of them have played.

Neu, who admits she hasn't played the game, said she has seen reviews and the game's website and heard from Frenette, who played the game online, about its content. "From what I've heard, it's was extremely graphic and violent and not appropriate," she said.

That's correct, Frenette played the non-online game online, and Neu read several reviews and surfed a website. Junior Jack Thompsons in the making there.

Having received the support of many parents, written letters to government leaders, and set up an online petition, experts in bullying agree that they are now at least 150% more fun to push around than before. Michael Fahey
