Rockstar's Next Game Draws Protesters
Rockstar's next title, Bully, has already come under fire from anti-bullying groups. Activists have taken it up another notch, though, by demonstrating outside of the NY Rockstar offices. They've also laid out a list of demands to the game developer, hoping to get the company to change its ways. The Peaceoholics demand Rockstar "Not to release Bully under any circumstances, Volunteer to sell its violent and sexually explicit games in adult video stores only, Let parents return Grand Theft Auto for a full refund until they do a national awareness campaign to educate parents of content and possible effects, Create a fund for victims of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and car-jackings, etc, Make a national apology for misleading and lying to children, parents, and legislators about their intentions and causing insurance premiums to sky rocket, Give a written response within five business days of receipt of these demands" Press the Buttons has commentary, and uses some words I'd like to myself.
FYI so that you don't sound ignorant when you complain about things:
1) Unemployment is down.
2) The administration, no matter what you would like to believe, has very little control over gas prices. As long as environmental groups continue preventing the exploitation of Alaska's oil reserves.
As for wars, it is true, that has changed, but I have to believe that a lot of it had to do with 9/11, and most of this war stuff wouldn't have happened without it. The same goes for the deficit (wars -> deficit). As for the police state comment, that's just a polemic attack with little basis.
That will be all.
