In the past in Greece many people ahve said that movies which shows cigarettes wouldn't be shown, but this of course didn't happen. Very stupid-i know- ever1 here though about this.

Because of Cigarettes? Yeesh!
Next thing they'll do is ban anything that has two guys talking in a "suggestive" way, including many Disney movies! People seriously need to get a life.
I found a site that said a state had banned games, movies, books, anything, that had any kind of red fluid on the cover....

I really can't understand how governments (especially mine) can suggest such stupid things.
Maybe i know, because they don't have brain...

What can you do, eh?
(Well actually, there's lots. (Besides boycotting) There's petition, rallies, debates, protests, bootleg, media support, etc....(ok some are "illegal" :P))
This is why I have this curiosity. Because I want to know what is hidden behind the walls of politics.
I've heard (I mentioned before) that the Canadian and American governments are trying to ban GTA3 and GTA3 ViceCity. How can you remove something from the market after having it there for months? Sheesh! ii-monk is correct, they lack mass between the ears....

Go buy two or three extra copies of GTA 3 and GTA 3 Vice City because if they are banned they will be worth gold. In fact I bet people are doing this just at the threat of a ban. The company is probably laughing all the way to the bank. Truthfully I have never played them but just hearing they might be banned makes me want to. Wow, our government at work
Maybe the folks in Congress should crank up some CCR and listen to their song "Bootleg". It might give them a clue.

Very true, there would be a HUGE bootleg market to the general population if it gets banned.
SodeMoca5: GTA3 is a hell of alot of fun, especially with friends around competing with each other at how many cop cars they can blow up. The missions are sometimes repetitive, but are mostly fun and hard.
On the CS note, i dont think i would even blink at being T just after 9-11, it jus wouldnt occur to me that people would actually care which team they are on other than personal gun preference. Though there might be some reservations about that airport map.

I don't want to go off topic, but Striek, here's an online version of Mein Kampf. If you're in the US or the EU, you're not supposed to click that link, cause it'll make you violate copyright.
The English translation got copyrighted in 1935, and Canada applies a life+50 rule for copyrights, so Mein Kampf is in the public domain in Canada right now - no need to buy the book 
A little more on topic: here's a list of books that have been banned throughout history. The reasons for the bannings are pretty interesting: obscenity, distribution of birth control information, explicit language, blasphemy, extreme voilence,...
Oh, and to add a game to your list: Hooligans, Storm over Europe
This is a game. Not a shrine for real-life hooligan worshippers.
If you are interested in the game, we invite you to investigate this site further.
If you are interested in real-life hooligan drama, we have nothing to offer.
