My theory proved to be nauseatingly true-the male students in my classes became interested in the game. I wanted to check the shock value of the game. With extreme judgment control, I presented a description of the game and news stories regarding the proposed ban. Fighting opposing emotions, I brought the issue regarding game to the attention of my high school seniors. Before writing, I deliberated over the painful thought of giving this alleged 'game' any more unnecessary attention. Why is it banned? Is it really that bad?

For three years this game has gone under the radar. As an adolescent, anything that was off-limits to me became desirable. A ban on this, or anything, will only make it more popular.
