Grand Theft Auto


King of Snake

Recommended Posts

So... there are missions in the game that require you to kill police officers and innocent people to progress any futher (one has you burying a construction worker alive for whistleting at your sister) and that gets a bit of flack, but now you say there's hidden SEX in the game? Oh my lord! Senseless violence against innocent people is one thing.... but CONSENTUAL SEX????? Somebody hold the presses! Get this game off the shelves! God forbid our children see a NAKED GIRL after they've just beaten 5 crackheads to death with a baseball bat.

 

This is what pushes grand theft auto into the adults only category? I think my head is about to fucking explode. But that's ok, a kid could see me head explode... as long as I have my clothes on, that is.

Now that was funny. You can blow a guys head off and be on the news for a few minutes, but showing your breast and your on t.v for weeks on end. Now Mrs. Clinton wants the FBI to look into GTA to see if something can be done aginst Rockstar. Now Bill Clinton sleeps with ho's all the time and she has a state to run or something and whats the biggest thing on her mind A FUCKING VIDEO GAME FOR ADULTS. No wonder this country is so fucked up.

This just keeps getting better.

 

Sex workers cry foul, say game "accrues points to players for the depiction of rape and murder of prostitutes."

The Grand Theft Auto franchise is getting attacked from all angles. Joining the ranks of politicians, policemen, and attorneys in their crusade to see the game lifted from shelves are the nation's sex workers. On its Web site, the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA is asking parents to assist them in calling for a ban of Take-Two Interactive's controversial game.

 

Citing a 2001 document from the National Institute on Media and the Family's David Walsh, SWOP is calling "on all parents and all gamers to boycott Grand Theft Auto."

 

The organization quotes various points from Walsh's paper, including, "Children are more likely to imitate a character with whom they identify with. In violent video games the player is often required to take the point of view of the shooter or perpetrator."

 

Though the organization admits to being "adamantly opposed to any and all forms of censorship," as concerned parents themselves, they "wish to inform other parents of the potential danger extremely violent video games pose to children." Likewise, in the interest of promoting the rights of sex workers, the organization is opposed to the depiction of the rape and murder of prostitutes.

 

In the games, players can solicit "services" from prostitutes by driving their cars slowly near them. No sexual acts are in clear visible view, but during the "transaction," the player regains health and loses money. Though the player cannot actively rape prostitutes in the game, a possible rape is alluded to once during the storyline of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The prostitutes, like every other character, are also subject to homicide at the hands of the protagonist.

 

According to its Web site, SWOP USA is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of sex-industry workers and to the promotion of a safe working environment for the industry.

hmm.. ok, make it Adult only and save yours and mines monies... halt the investigations and endless court time media attention. We have missing children and adults, hate crimes, rapes, murders, vandalism, burgalries, robberies, car thefts, suicides, mentally ill issues, welfare, homeless, education or lack of, terminal illnesses, taxes, vice president misuse of firearms, presidents choking on pretzels, former presidents striking up debates at dead peoples funerals and causing certain hondonians to bitch like... bitches, global warming, coperate scandals, fraud, I won at poker last night... oh how did that get in there, illegal narcotics use, and its distribution... on and hell... we have an effing war going on! Bring our boys home... and you can talk video gaming all you want.

 

plenty of other shit to worry about then games. Since the bitch politicians all wanted that game rating on all the games, then require them to make it adult only. That is about all you can do... toon erotica and porn are in the same boat and I don't see them trying to do away with that.

 

here...

 

Official letter from the PTB's (powers that be)

Signed,

your crack addicted lobbiest
