    A lose lose game, where if you don't hit her, you're considered a "pussy" but if you do hit her to 100%, you're an "idiot." Good thing I moderately slap my bitches.

    But really, I don't think they understand how to run a campaign over there...

    @Covert_Knight: I think the point they were trying to make is that if you respond to someone verbally berating you by hitting them, that you're an abuser and need help. A healthy person removes themselves from a situation like that instead of choosing to respond with violence. They just made their point in a really, really, *really* bad way (I find even referring to the woman as a "b!tch" to be objectionable and degrading).

    Ask a group of guys whether they'd prefer being called an idiot or a pussy and see what they say. The absolute worst insult you can give a man (a young man still unsure of himself, anyway, which is who this campaign was supposedly aimed at) is to call him a woman. Basic male psychology fail, Denmark.

    Rated E for Everyone. Only on the Wii.

    Activision sequel:
    Hit the Bitch 2: Smileys revenge.

    Press: What's your stance on domestic abuse and how will this game deter such crimes?

    So is there one specific bitch I should be hitting? Or can I just choose which ones myself?

    Either way, I'll brb.

    Freaking designers; they're so intent on being edgy that they completely miss the point of the message they're supposed to be conveying.

    Yep, this was a bad idea. Violence (particularly against women) is so pervasive and downplayed, and violence and sex are so closely intertwined in our societal makeup, that a lot of the people this is supposed to be informing are going to see this and either think it's funny or a turn-on.

    I took her out for a romantic night out and proposed to her in front of her friends and family during a surprise birthday party!

    Why would I beat her?

    I would fart anywhere at anytime. Holding in farts is painful.

    Plus, it's hilarious to look at other people's faces when they smell a "Silent But Deadly" especially when you look like you didn't actually pull that one off.

    Also, as for a protip, slide it to the right until you see a question mark, release, and then put it back when it's all clear. I made it to floor 50 that way with 126,000 points maybe.
