GTA Sex Game Leads to ESRB Fracas

At first, it was nothing more than a rumour. A "sex mini-game" in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, left in the code for the PC version and unlocked by inquisitive players. Then, as more and more information became available it seemed as though the sex game might be real. This revelation has lead to California Speaker pro-tem Yee blasting the ESRB for their apparent slip-up in examining all the content in the game. The ESRB has responded by pledging a "thorough and objective investigation" of the claims to get to the bottom of the situation. Commentary is available from Joystiq, GamesAreFun, and Buttonmashing.

    Sorry about that. I'll go into Wikipedia and correct that. It should be "pro temp."

    You're about as useful as the function with your name, nigger.

    You're going to trust the majority? Jeez. The majority of American voters, not counting those third-party wackos, thought that George W. Bush was a good president in the last election.

    It's pro temp, not pro tem. Thanks to Wikipedia for allowing me to make that correction. I make allot of corrections.

    I think these games are terrible...I find the level of violence disgusting and I am very discouraged that the game companies are producing and marketing such slop. What next...Gang Rape III? Slicin' Dicin' Serial Killers? How about I'll do anything for Heroin: The Teenage Adventure.

    That being said, I see that (as always) on slashdot, what started out as a discussion about a videogame has descended into "The United States Sucks", always the default topic on slashdot because it is popular with the 13-22 year old crowd in the US (a good chunk of the ./ audience) who seem sophisitcated when they bash their own country.

    Free speech in the US is not perfect, but it is more free than anywhere else. People censor sex here because the courts agreed that they can.
