No.

I don't believe in censorship. I think that a developer should be able to put what they want in a game, without fear of reprisals from watchdogs or parents. We should be able to play a game exactly as the developer intended it to be, without any omissions or changes.
If people don't like the content, they don't have to buy the game. Same as if I don't like what's on TV, I can switch over or off. I can make my own judgement, and I don't need some overly-moral Mary Whitehouse type to decide what I can and can't see.
As Angelina Jolie said two days ago in an interview about UK cuts to the Tomb Raider movie: where do you draw the line? Why is a headbutt deemed too violent, when a punch in the face is not?
Who watches the watchmen? Why are they deemed to be less corruptable than me? I'm not easily offended, and I'm sick of my entertainment being butchered because of what a small minority of morons *might* do.
Rant over!

Blimey, I only answered a question! Good job I didn't give you £20, you'd be wanting sex or something! ;-)
