GTA Sex Game Debate Intensifies
The ESRB kerfluffle with Rockstar shows no signs of ebbing. Gamespot is reporting that a watchdog group has gotten into the act. From the article: "The Minneapolis-based watchdog group, founded by Dr. David Walsh, previously decried the game for its glorification of cop-killing with an online petition. Now the group is issuing a National Parental Warning for the game, giving concerned mothers and fathers a heads-up that their children could be playing with their joysticks in an inappropriate way. The National Institute on Media and the Family joins an already active debate on the game, its content, and the appropriateness of its current M rating." Additionally, the Dutch hacker who claims to have uncovered the game content has been identified. From the article: "...the mod was authored by 36-year-old Patrick Wildenborg, a Dutch gamer and a member of the modder community...Wildenborg insists that the X-rated code is already in the game and that all his patch does is bypass the game's 'censor flags.'" Among many others, Game Girl Advance has commentary on the story.
"that their children could be playing with their joysticks in an inappropriate way."
This came out way wayyy wrong.
How could we effective disapprove of this awfull material if we can't get a look at it? I mean, it's our duty to guard the morality of the gaming world, right? So can we please get a few screenshots?
The National Institute on Media and the Family should wake up and smell the (hot) coffee. :P
You'd be surprised how many people think sex leads to violence.
I just tried the unlocking codes on a pretty girl waiting for a bus... you know... just in case it might work.
She looked at me like I was insane, asked what I just said. When I explained, she slapped me.
There was no sex.
Oh well, I didn't think it would work, but I had to try... just in case.
- For the complete works of Shakespeare: cat
Almost everybody on this globe has, had, will have, has right now sex.
