11 Offensive Video Game Moments You Need To See For Yourself

7. South Park: The Stick Of Truth's Censored Anal Probing Scene

Working on a board for something like the BBFC must be a ridiculous process, and in fact if you listen to many South Park DVD commentaries, Trey Parker and Matt Stone routinely chuckle about the tiniest of changes that have to be made to controversial material, before it can go through.

For Stick of Truth, however, they just couldn't get all the ratings boards from across the world to agree on anything, resulting in many different versions of the game, with different cultural allowances for specific scenes.

The biggest offenders though? A vicious (and pretty hilarious) alien anal probing where Stan's father Randy is on the receiving end, and one where you enacted an abortion with a vacuum.

In America, both were viewable as intended. In the UK, however, we received a hilariously-written text prompt that appeared where the scenes were supposed to go, chastising our country's standards for being so ridiculous, and in Australia, both were censored across all platforms.

I mean, firstly, anyone even remotely interested is just going to hop on Youtube to see the clips in all their glory as soon as possible, and second, the game features a level where you battle groups of "Heil Hitler"-ing Nazi foetuses, who shout in soundbites taken from some of the Fuhrer's most infamous speeches.

That was okay, but anal probing wasn't? All or nothing, surely?!
