Doh. oops... but still, how exactly did they lie? I would love to know how they should be punished for lying to these agencies. I would also like to know when the British decided that democracy in their country didn't include freedom of expression. I know their system is different than that of say, the US or even that of the other Commonwealth Countries, but still, I had though that freedom of expression was a basic tenant of democracy... and how is it that if I want to buy pornography in the UK, it is perfectly legal, but if its in a video game, its a problem?
So, how, exactly, did they lie to the ratings board about GTA Vice City? the Hot Coffee mod? it wouldn't have been a mod, if they were allowed the first amendment freedom to publish the game as it was written. When will you self-righteous pious hypocrites quit dictating your moral values to the rest of the world? I understand if they want to slap an adults-only label on the title... but what I do with MY video game console in MY home is really none of ANYONES business but my own. These same pious hypocrites will starve you, enslave you, and steal from you, all while they protect your morality.... PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THESE FOLKS A CLUE!
Cingular/ATT carries the Motorola L2 . It is a Candy-bar style phone, and its pretty plain-jane, the only feature beyond making calls, and the standard list of crapola, is Bluetooth, which is pretty much standard. I have had mine for about 9 months, and the kids cannot break it, it has survived several drops, and still works fine.. best of all, the charger port is a mini-usb, so you can load ringtones and wallpaper from your pc.. hell, you can even snag a charge anywhere there is an open USB port, which is handy as hell.. I cannot count the times I used my laptop to power the phone to make a call when the phone was dead... that being said, i get like 3-4 days standby time, and 4 hours talk or so. The phone is Quad-Band GSM, so it will work anywhere, Cingular/ATT or T-Mobile in the US, if unlocked. Not sure if t-mob offers it, but attular does.
