Bully - sometimes Canis Canem Edit - has been banned in Brazil, according to reports today.

It is unclear whether the whole nation has been denied Rockstar's latest title, or whether this ban only refers to the Rio Grande so Sul region, where judge Flavio Rabello passed judgment against the game.

Apparently, the setting is what did for the title in the south American country, a fairly basic problem which are presumably unlikely to be able to fix via a few quick edits.

"The aggravating factor is that everything in the game takes place inside a school," railed prosecutor Alcindo Bastos. "That is not acceptable."
