Ok Who has Grand Theft Auto, San Andreas?

There's Sex In My Violence!
What's this lame soft-core porn doing in my ultraviolent "Grand Theft Auto"? I am outraged!

Really I am. And it is badly done too. Not nearly up to the quality of the other graphics I am told. Anyway if you are interested in the article read it here.

What I found interesting in the article all jokes aside was this quote:


Meanwhile, just down America's street, countless thousands of young U.S. soldiers are hobbling home from Iraq and Afghanistan, wounded and disabled and limbless and traumatized to the bone, eyes deadened to the world and permanently scarred to their cores and in interviews and documentaries and various news stories you often hear many of them say this one weirdly similar thing.

They say, wow man, yeah, it sure was amazing over there, totally surreal, killin' all those people with rapid-fire machine guns and firing rounds of mortar shells into buildings that might've been, for all we knew, hospitals or schools, and using night-vision goggles to invade decimated towns to hunt down crazed guerrillas and riding in those tanks and blowing the crap out of those Iraqi villages and hearing those women scream and watching those bodies burn.

This is what they say: Oh man, you know what it reminded me of? You know what it was like over there, what with all the killing and the violence and the guns? It was just like, well, it was just like a video game.

To which you may now reply, huh.


People worry about the dumbest shit IMO. Let's not worry about an unjust war instead oh holyfuck lets worry about porn in a video game that is totally up to the discretion of the buyer if they own it or not. >.< I DO NOT NEED A BABYSITTER CLUB RATING MY GAMES, MOVIES, TELEVISION SHOWS NOR DO THEY NEED TO TELL ME WHAT IS GOOD FOR ME TO SEE, READ, OR PLAY. Last time I checked that was called censorship and it is not a government's job to censor things.
