> "The company that brought us the famous '1984' Superbowl commercial 
> has obviously become Big Brother," remarked Desi. "The Mac market is 
> regarded as the most mature, sophisticated demographic in the home 
> computer world. But Apple obviously doesn't feel its users should be 
> able to make their own choices when it comes to the software they buy 
> for their Macs.

>  "Our fans are our secret weapon," maintained the unsinkable Vince 
> Desi. "It's always been our philosophy to support our fans first, and 
> we will continue to deal directly with them." POSTAL 2: Share The Pain 
> for Mac features both single and multi-player modes and of course the 
> infamous Gary Coleman.

> Last week the game loaded with mature humor and political 
> 'in'-correctness was offered to Apple for sale in its retail outlets 
> but Apple passed, so the Running With Scissors online store is the 
> sole source from which Mac users can obtain the most notorious video 
> game in the history of electronic entertainment.
>
> To top things off, in the same week POSTAL 2 was banned by the 
> government of New Zealand (which permits both the GTA and Soldier of 
> Fortune games to be sold freely). "Who's gonna be next to ban us? I 
> have no idea but I have no doubt it will happen again" said the ever 
> faithful God fearing Desi.
