   Are you kidding? The name is the best part of the game. It's completely   
   inoffensive and any discomfort you feel is only your own. Like a mirror,   
   it reflects only what's held up in front of it. Or something.   
      
   Seriously, you can't imagine that the game was named carelessly. There's   
   nothing objectionable in the game (apart from the main character being   
   acerbic and annoying) and none of the dialogue or art is suggestive in any   
   way. And even gamers who haven't played it know the game. It's a rare   
   example of brilliant, self-perpetuating marketing from Sega.
