I'll say this, I would rather have my kids see sex than the violent slaughter garbage that has been in R rated movies for the last 30 years. The world may be a better place.

Raunchy, full-contact sex -- the sort of thing you'd see in a porn movie, only with cartoonlike, computer-generated images.

I assume then that the price of this game is 400% above the normal price of games? ; )

First off, I don't play these games. I play scrabble. But the last time I looked at the ads in the paper, video game boxes were still priced in the $100 and up range. Where do kids get the money for these games? Or the money for the television they connect to?

From their parents.

And who should be the one responsible to make sure games with unacceptable content don't get into the hands of their kids?

Again, their parents.

This is just more screaming and crying for an ever larger Nanny-State to take over the responsibilities (and rights) that parents should exercise themselves. It looks like some "parents" out there still have a lot of growing up to do.

And where was it decided that "appropriate for children" is the touchstone for what is appropriate for everyone?

Finally, it appears to me from the article that this isn't something in the published game, but something added to it by various nerds. How is that the fault of the game maker? This just looks like more of the same logic that would hold gun makers accountable for the actions of criminals. And I'm not buying it.

who cares...

the game is fun...

if the PARENTS don't want their kids to play the games, then THE PARENTS should be the ones to either take it away or NOT buy it in the first place.

Did I say the ONUS of this is on the PARENTS?
