Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod
Bond_James writes "Ars Technica is reporting that an 85-year old New York woman has filed a civil suit against Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive. She alleges that the defendants 'engaged in misleading and deceptive practices in packaging and selling' the game, which she purchased for her 14-year old grandson. This will be interesting, and scary, to watch unfold in the courtrooms. Will the M (17+) rating of the game save Rockstar?"
Just package the game in a set of styrofoam titties, or require that stores set up their displays, the customer has to reach through the vagina hole of a big latex pussy with a throbbing red clit to grab a box.
That ought to make it clear to even the most shriveled up grandma that this game is not for children, and you're fucking responsible for what you buy, not anyone else.
Fascism trolls keeping me up every night. When I starts a preachin', he HITS ME WITH HIS REICH!
Imagine the outrage if she had purchased her son the August 2005 issue of National Geographic Magazine. There is a photo of a nude woman in it! We must start checking IDs on magazine purchases and institute a rating system at once!

Again with the grandma, and the hot coffee, and the lawsuits....
When will they learn to stay away from hot coffee.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
First off, Rockstar should report her and the children's parents to family services for neglect.
Next, they should sue the kid and his parents. They could claim that he modified the ROT-26 protected binary and used the product in a manner not in accordance with the EULA.
Sue the grandma also. She bought the game and then gave it to someone else. I'm pretty sure the EULA only gives the purchacer the right to use the product.
They should probably sue Jack Thompson for public disclosure of a unaddressed security flaw. Jack should have sent a private memo to Rockstar and given them time to revove the flaw.
Then they should sue Mattell. Your Rockstar should claim they bought a barbie doll and a ken doll for their kids. The kids were latter seen playing with the dolls having simulated sex.
Then sue Lego. You can put thoes things into some funny positions making it look like simulated sex.
Sue the Catholic church for including "Song of Solomon" in the Bible. Sue the Protestants while you are at it.
They should Sue Bill Clinton for having simulated sex in the Oval Office.
Sue Hillary for not divorcing her cheating, lying husband. Women putting up with that shit degrades the American Family. Damn her for not setting a better example for our young women.
I'd rather you do it wrong, than for me to have to do it at all.
I don't know... this is a lawsuit over hot coffe. Companies should know by now to use extreme caution with anyhthing with that moniker.
I'll never make that mistake again, reading the experts' opinions. - Feynman
