NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting

Posted by simoniker on from the double-sigh dept.

wiredbeat2000 writes "The New York Post has an inflammatory article which argues that Take Two's Grand Theft Auto is worse than child molestation and more harmful than second hand smoke. The story, which appears in the business section, calls for an outright ban of video games it claims are no better than snuff films, and concludes: 'Stay away from this [Take Two] stock - far, far away - and you'll be doing both your wallet and your fellow man a favor'." Lucky the author hasn't checked out Manhunt yet, huh?

    If you geeks want to be taken seriously when you (for example) complain about electronic voting, or argue for the benefits of free software, you'll have to get rid of the violent video games.

    The adult world will not take you seriously until you do.

    I still don't think that the author should be able to continue to rape kids. That was the point he was tring to make right?
