NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting

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?

We'll toss our violent video games right after "the adult world" tosses it's violent movies. And sensationalistic journalism exploitative of ACTUAL violence and tragedy. And tabloid TV. And Springer-esque talk shows.

I hope keeping those video games makes up for continuing to be cut out of the loop in places where actual power is exercised. Sure, the adult world won't listen to you when you explain why drm is evil, but at least you geeks still have your precious video games! Rock on!

Because no one played the game long enough to get to this bonus level.
