"More Coffee?"

Now an 85 year old Grandmother is planning to take legal action against Take Two. Seems like she just caught on. Link below. The reason for putting it in this forum - it seems strange to me that 17 and 18 make such a huge difference in terms of age. I'm sure the "M" rating is a 17 and over thing whilst adults is 18 (or is it 21 in America?). If its just 17, 18, then seriously, what can happen in just one year? Admittedly, you have to draw the line somewhere, otherwise the same argument would then apply to 16, 17.

Also, this Grandmother bought the game for her 14 year old son or something like that. Sounds like she already made a mistake, or have I got the age ratings entirely muddled?

Its been said in a fair few topics already, but I have to ask again, why is there so much fuss about this? As discussed previously (see Goatboy's topic), porn is all over the place, any muppet can look it up on the net if they want and it'll certainly be more "realistic" than some tiny pixels in a computer game. Also, and I think this one should be obvious too, sex is normal, that's how we're here (I was never all that bothered with Biology but I soon dismissed the stork theory). I don't think sex should hold anywhere near as much fear as violence.

1) A 17 year old saw a man (in a computer game) blow up 50 other men with a rocket launcher whilst evading and killing numerous police officers. He later stole a car and ran over 16 pedestrians in a high speed chase.

Verdict: Seems okay to me, after all that person was 17 so is unlikely to recreate the events themself.

2) A 17 year old saw saw a man and a woman writhing around together, both with extremely happy expressions on their faces. They were later seen kissing and even hugging with no clothes on.

Verdict: This is an outrage! What if this 17 year old goes out and breeds? There could potentially be a baby on the cards if that 17 year old isn't careful. We don't think a special thing like that should happen at all.

Its always about money and fame though for the people involved. If it wasn't then why don't they go and focus on something that matters. If they put half as much effort into sorting out real problems around the world as they do into rubbing themselves aginst Clinton and co...

Sorry, got a little carried away. Rant fin. Just click the link and ignore the rest of it if you want to save time.

Didn't see the need to start a new thread for this so I stuck it in here. Hope you don't mind, ssx.

I personally blame the Church for this.

They don't mind violence and murder, it's part of the Bible.

Sex is looked down on however, hence why we have rubbish like this going on.

Still anit lent it me yet, Chirs.

Hmm, I'm bored.

Oh wait, hardcore porn is just a click away!

I think that's already been said. Let's move on to how we'd like to kill these people. Certainly beating them to the floor, kicking the remaining life out of them, before taking their money which will be floating near their body, is one option.

I still don't know why idiots like this are really that bothered.

They were fine with San Andreas when it was just murder, violence, drugs and theft but as soon as sex *cough* the thing humans rely on to further their existence *cough* comes into it then they make a big song and dance about it.

'public outcry'

I have visions of people just like that christian hag in donnie darko. These people understand nothing apart from the business end of a 12 gauge remington.

"Sales of GTA San Andreas rose to an all-time high on thursday..."

The woman is naked yes, but the quality is terrible it's as stupid as the high ratings for Team America because the puppets are having sex. :S

I guess killing people in a game isnt as bad as seeing people have sex in a game. You just wait, there will be articles in the tabloids about games like GTA encouraging teenage pregnancy.

Australia bans everything though.

They're not even naked in the sex bits, are they?
It really is the nanny state over-reacting to everything, and dictating what's good and bad for us. Why should I not be able to play some amusing sex mini-games if I want?
