Hot Coffee
One looks at Mrs. Clintons new pet project, cracking down on the video game industry after it was discovered that a in a Mod of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, there is a Mini Game entitled, “Hot Coffee” in which a gamer has virtual sex, Ironically with their cloths still on…
OK, this has no right to be exposed to children, that’s why the title is Rated M for mature or for ages 17 and up. The package clearly states all over that the game is not for children, and most retailers won’t sell it to any one under 17.
But seriously, why start cracking down on games now? Why not start when you the Grand Theft Auto series started, when the main objective of the game is to steal cars, paint them, and re-sell them to people you stole them from, meanwhile, you could go around killing cops and beating prostitutes. I wouldn’t want my kids playing that would you?
Or lets get out of the grand theft auto series and move on to more graphic titles such as the new God of War for the Play station 2, in which the main character can rip his enemies arms off and beat them to death with it. Or how about Blood Rain 2 in which the character rips her enemies apart, or, rips their heads off with her bare hands spewing a fountain of blood from the decapitated corps.
One Has to wonder why our society goes so lightly on violence, but cracks down on Sex, after all Violence is more damaging to a Childs mind then sex is, after all sex is a natural thing that all human beings experience at some point in their life time, Violence of the other hand is not natural, and something that disrupts societies.
One also wonders why we as a society crackdown on the Gaming industry but not the people that buy games titled “GRAND THEFT AUTO” for their children, this added with the many, many warnings on the packaging.
some one has to say it; What the hell Mrs. Clinton?
