The game's makers reject criticism, saying their detractors "have a clear hatred of Biblical Christianity". An alliance of liberal groups including the Christian Alliance for Progress, the Campaign to Defend the Constitution, and Talk2Action, have urged the giant retailer Wal-Mart,…

The hot topic discussed by men over a pint is sport, followed by work, nights out, friends and holidays. But sex comes eighth, behind food and celebrities, as a point of conversation.

And guys from the south west are twice as likely as the average man to boast about the…
