Parody falls under fair use of copyrighted material, and therefore is perfectly legal. Put it back in.
my respect-o-meter just dropped like 30 points for Rockstar... thats totally lame... almost as lame as the last 8 seasons of the simpsons
Wasn't FOX the one ruining projects all through the late 90s?

What a bunch of crybaby douchebags. Apparently, no one at Rockstar understands the definition of irony.
I doubt this is Rockstar's fault, probably take two or too hasty lawyers (as what happened with Epic). They want to 'protect' their reputation after all the hot coffee debacle lol.
To think I actually felt a little respect for Rockstar but jesus christ take a joke you two faced pussies.
I don't know the whole story, but this does look bad for the company. I hope that Rockstar isn't truly filled with hypocrites.
Who knows what was pulled, maybe Rockstar had a real reason to do it but I think it's a bit harsh calling them pussy's when we don't even know what happened.
Kaikara:
Yeah, I think I'm in denial, too.
Rockstar has GOT to have a bigger sense of humor than this.

I agree that maybe something just hit too close to home. We may never know, so whatever. Still won't play the Simpson's game anyway.
What a bunch of bitches.
Hopefully teh internets will respond appropriately with an obscene amount of unauthorized youtube and flash-based parodies.
oh, and pirating.

Comeone ya winy whore, Rockstar! If you can create games like Red Dead revolver and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, surely ya can take a joke pussies!
Wow, this really makes me lose a lot of respect for Rockstar. They can give it, but they can't take it. Pussies. Grow a set indeed.
So wait-- a game that is a parody, based on parodies of action movies, 80s movies (Scarface and Miami Vice); with a soundtrack of parody songs, busts the chops of a parody? Pussies indeed.
rockstar is just upset that they had to delay their game, and now they are going to take it out on whoever
My guess? The simpsons game parodys some sections of the GTA IV that nobody is supposed to know about yet, hence the wording "elements of the level had to be removed", not "remove the entire level". Perhaps the simpsons game treads too close to what they actually plan to do in GTA IV. Shit I dunno.
It just seems odd for Rockstar to do this. I guess they could just be a whiney bunch of pussies.

Hmm, I think the source was a little bit misleading. Rizzer doesn't actually say that they had to remove GTA references specifically. The only thing he mentions is having to take down the Grand Theft Scratchy poster at Leipzig, something he attributed to the actions of "some lawyer".
In any case, it's probably a mistake to lump the motivations of the game's creative team in with the bloodsucking corporate legal team. Lawyers, as everyone knows, lack anything resembling a sense of humor. It's a biological fact.

I was gonna make a comment regarding the lowered amount of respect I now have for Rockstar, but I forgot all about it because I’m pissing myself laughing about “Pour Some Curry On Me”. Sitar Hero FTW!
With luck, it'll still be hidden in the disk, which can be unlocked with the help of a "Hot Donut Mod".
This is a perfectly reasonable reaction. The Simpsons is pure garbage, and i wouldn't want my brand name associated with that trashed either.
Funny, many people say the same thing about GTA...
If something is legally defined as parody, as The Simpsons no doubt is, they don't need permission from Rock Star to begin with. The fact that they've chosen to complain about this makes them look pathetic and hypocritical.

This is pretty lame. More than likely it was the blood-drinking baby-eating lawyers that put this in motion, or at least I hope it was, if it came from Rockstar's execs I think this would show some major douchiness. Douchiness is a new word I created, just now. With no assistance. I know, it's cool.
Will it be longwill it be short? thought I, passing my hand across buy singulair online
I would object to the Blood Island subtitle and all the horror movie violence on the cover. That's not what GTA is about, if anyone at Fox had bothered to play the games.
A cleverer parody e.g., "Grand Theft Scratchy: Mice City" with pictures of Itchy with a chainsaw and wearing a hawaiian shirt, and some mice dancing in a strip club I'm sure Rockstar would've allowed. They probably just don't like half-assed parody.
