The U.K. folks were cracking up that we have heads exploding in a bloody mess on the big screen, that we go kill civilians in a messy, unprovoked war, but OMG they cannot have a nipple appear in a Mature (18+) video game.
GD American censorship.

I think America has serious sex fears that warp society, and may be overly protective when it comes to exposure to sex. I think most of that stems from religious zeal. I think it hurts people, it basically lies to them about what the world is like, and doesn't prepare them for reality. Finding out the truth later is a bitter pill to swallow, and yes, I blame people for lying and making this a sub-culture, when unfortunately sex is anything but a small part of human existence.

Sure they may mean the violence AND sex, but sex is the biggie that americans freak out about, violence...unrestricted in movies as far as I can tell.
