If she wins that law suit, I'm going to break something. I think rockstar should sue her right back! Giving adult material to a minor.

The most rediculous thing about this is the fact that the actual hidden sex game is just sexual positions. The characters are actually clothed and there's no animated nudity or genitalia etc...

In fact the whole porn movie studio thing in Vice City was probably worse than this. Especially since that was actually part of the game. Not only that, but games like the Sims (I'm not sure which one), you can enter a code and they have uncensored sex, or so I read, but I've never played The Sims games.

A game series like Leisure Suit Larry implies more nudity or is of a more graphic nature than this and Rockstar gets screwed over because of people's ignorance.

Someone should make a short about some stupid parent who gives a porno DVD to their children and then later gets angry and tries to sue the industry or something. Hey, why not, if the parents are dumb enough to buy a game with a mature rating and let their kid play it and then think it's someone elses fault, why not show some sort of contrast between the two. Maybe point the finger at who's really responsible for once.

Yeah I totally agree. This is such crap. I sincerly hope its thrown out of court.

adding that no parent would knowingly buy an Adults Only-rated game for their children.

I'm sorry, but is that not the most hypocritical thing that anyone has ever said?!!!!!
This grandma is trying to say that a game that is being advertised as sex, drugs, rock n' roll, and cars is misleading? What the sweet fuck. She picked up the game off the shelf and gave it to the kid sinply because he asked for it. She made absolutely no attempt to see if it was a decent game for a kid his age. Which wouldn't have been difficult considering there is a large "M" in the corner. So the rating system did all the fact checking she could have wanted to. And now she says that no parent would buy their kid a AO rated game. She would never dream of buying a game that was 18+ but a game rated M that is onle 17+ well, thats a different story.
Give me a break.

i stole this from Absath of Ctrl+Alt+Del fame...
Tim pretty well sums up everything i'd have to say about this in nice neat package. inlcuding the bbq. yep thats right. including the bbq.
so here it is:

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Jack Thompson. You know, that power tripping lawyer from Miami who thinks video games are the devil, and solely responsible for human stupidity? The guy that blames video game developers when their customers create mods/hacks that add sexual/violent content to a video game. Because obviously it's the developer's fault that people are modifying their game.

Some of you may recall an interview I did with CBS News on the subject of video game violence, that Mr. Thompson also participated in.

For years I've watched this moron use the tragedies of suffering families as stepping stones in his pursuit of money and fame. A fourteen-year-old kid sleepwalks, and stabs his grandmother to death with a butcher knife. Absolutely horrible. According to Jack Thompson it has nothing to do with noctambulism, and everything to do with the fact that the child played Diablo earlier that day. Why blame the child, or heaven forbid, the parent, when you could just point the finger at a video game?

I knew he was a loon, but I didn't understand the full extent of his senility until he decided to mess with a friend of mine. I'll bet you already read VGCats (and if you don't, you should be ashamed of yourself), so you've probably already read about Scott's "encounter" with Mr. Rationality. If you haven't, I suggest going to make yourself aware.

I'm sick and tired of people like Jack Thompson always looking for a scapegoat. It's always something. For a while it was comic books that were ruining society's youth. Then it was Rock and Roll. Now it just happens to be video games.

There are always going to be parents out there that will not own up to their responsibility in raising a child. And obviously there will always be people like Jack Thompson who facilitates this type of behavior.

A kid plays a video game, then goes and shoots his brother. Guess what; I think that kid was probably fucked up in the head to begin with, before that game ever got into his hands. Either due to chemical imbalances of some sort, or because his parents couldn't be bothered enough to properly explain the concept of right and wrong to their child.

And so suddenly their child is a murderer, and they are faced with the decision of being branded as a poor parent, or shifting the blame onto whatever vice seems most convenient at the moment. In these cases, video games. What option do you think these fucking cowards are going to choose?

I agree one hundred and ten percent that video games should have age ratings. I completely agree that a twelve-year old should not be playing Grand Theft Auto. What's that you say? We already have an age restriction system on video games? Well blow me down.

The bottom line is, all we have the responsibility to do is label the games for content and set an age limit. If a game is labeled M for mature, that's the end of it. If a retail outlet sells it to a minor anyway, go after the store or employee!

If a store is doing their job, then a minor will not be able to walk in and purchase one of these games. So how do they get their hands on it? Well shiver me timbers, the parents buy it for them!

And the most genius part is, that the parents then turn around and yell at the video game developers, which essentially boils down to "I'm too fucking busy and lazy to be bothered with what my kid is doing, and you made this violent video game which my stupid ass bought and it's all your fault because you should have estimated my sheer, overwhelming retardism and take steps to prevent it!"

Face it Jack. You've got nothing. I've been gaming since my Commodore 64, and I've never killed anyone. I've never run through traffic like Frogger, and I've never tried to jump on anyone's skull like Mario.

I could go out right now, pick any murder in the world and link it to something stupid just the way you keep doing. Man kills his wife while she sleeps. Turns out he ate cheerios for breakfast that morning. BAN CHEERIOS OMGWTFBBQ!.
