Grand Theft Auto Outrage

I can't believe this one...

Bouncing around the other day I came across a story about a mother, then an other about a grandmother (and an other and an other and an other...) all these parents going after RockStar games for their video game Grand Theft Auto- San Andreas.

I figured they must be upset that such a popular video game is glamorising stealing cars, dealing drugs, being a pimp, shooting cops, drive-by shootings, break and enters, crooked cops, getting tattoos, graffiti, murder, destruction of property...oh, and of course once again... stealing cars. (Sounds pretty cool actually, but I'm guessing their biggest market is young teens and overweight middle aged white men who get to pretend to be "gangsta's" sitting alone in their bachelor apartments)

No, no, no... it's none of those things that have the parents and families of these young kids upset... it's something we've all been doing for 100's of 1000's of years... SEX.

Sex, dating and meeting the opposite sex is actually part of the normal game play, and that had some folks upset, but apparently there is a cheat code you can put in that unlocks X-rated sex portions of the game, and this has people REALLY upset. (No hyperlink because of the pics, but copy and paste this web address into your browser...and yes, warning, it has X-rated pics but if they turn you on, you really need to get out more! http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2005/06/gta-san-andreas-hack-confirmed-as-real.html)

So once again the American public blows my mind with their twisted morals. They run out and buy 8,10 and 12 year olds a video game where their kid runs around stealing cars, dating "Ho's" and shooting cops but the minute one video game character starts to touch another video game character in any way but pounding his face in they FREAK OUT!

So to break it down for you here's the basic American moral thought on what kids should and shouldn't see... (It might not be your thoughts, but it's the way movies, TV, games etc are rated)

• Boobies--- No fuckin way (Isn't this where milk came from for like a million billion gazillion years?)
  
• Dead bodies--- No problem, in video games, in print, in movies and every night on the news
  
• Bums--- No fuckin way (Not even a thong)
  
• Guns, weapons, ammo, bombs--- Super cool and I don't think we're even going into this conversation (The biggest problem here is kids seeing how cool this shit is and then being told that if they point a finger like a gun they get kicked out of school... what a mixed message)
  
• Penis'--- Not something I want to see, but... no fuckin way... if it's more erect than the boot of Italy and it's a jail-able offense in some places. (What is the correct plural of penis... peni?)
  
• People getting murdered--- Very cool, most movies today are either comedies or about people getting murdered.
  
• Basic sex--- How we all got here... No fuckin way (Actually porn is a lot more popular than most people think... It pulls in more money than each year than ALL performing arts, movie tickets, football, and basketball combined!!!!)
  
• Blowing shit up--- Not shit you own, just someone else's stuff, the bigger and more expensive the better...Super cool!
  
• Computer graphic characters or animated characters having sex--- Not the way we all got here... No fucking way.
  
• Objectifying women--- Oh yea... Cool stuff (I do have a gratuitous hot chick for a reason.)
  
• Obscene fuckin language--- No fuckin way (well, that fuckin sucks shit! FUCK!)
  
• Disrespecting law enforcement--- We're taught it's super cool. From the time we are 2 years old we hear stuff like "Crap, there's a cop" "They're all crooked" or "Don't call the police". If you aren't doing anything wrong, what's the problem? They have a tough fuckin job and put themselves in danger everyday so you can sleep easy... have some respect dick head, why are we taught they are after us or against us? They are the reason strangers aren't in your house right now trying to decide if your computer will fit into the trunk of their car and holding a gun to your head... I can't even imagine what the world was like before there was law enforcement.

Yeah, I know... bla,bla,bla Geeper... shut your trap... Again, I'm not against any of this shit, it's just such a mixed up message we give little kids...

You gratuitous hot chick of the day... Lara Croft
