Unfortunately, not everyone has a sense of humor. They essentially believe that a child will become a serial killer if he or she sees a pixelated video game monster that resembles a human body part. Better not let those kids play any Zelda games!

Seriously, uploading a Boobasaurus Rex to the Spore site is the same as creating child pornography? How far do you have to shove your head up your ass to come to <em>that<\/em> epic fail of a conclusion? More to the point, is it possible to create a Spore creature based on this unfortunate condition?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve decided that my dream job is to work as a Dick Detector (Dicktector?) for the EA site. I will spent 8 hours a day (or more, if I get paid overtime) to comb through the massive number of creations and weed out anything that looks like it could be genitalia. Either I would filter out everything &#8212; after all, everything looks like a penis to <em>someone<\/em> (usually me), or I would filter out nothing and claim that whoever thought a creature looked like a penis was just a dirty pervert.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t yet been banned for inappropriate content, feel free to share your Spore name in the comments.
