Does it say 'contains graphic nudity'? The fact is parents buy this game for their kids thinking the mature rating means blood and guts not oral sex. If they intend to put fellatio in the game they should say so on the box. I love rum in my coke, but I'd be rather irked to discover coke putting it in their for me and everyone in secret.

There's a great endorsement for modern parenthood....

Sarcasm aside, better, more detailed ratings for video games should be considered. Parents should have a way to quickly ascertain the content. In that, I can hear your argument, but I don't believe parents should lightly purchase "Mature" rated video games, movies, or music for 12 year old children.

It's almost enough to make me think you should need a license to parent. Blood and Guts = ok, but my God there'd better not be a sex scene in there!

This whole controversy has simply shown what morons parents today are. If you can't stand up to your kid and say "No, you can't have that yet," you don't deserve to be a parent.

Does it need to?

That's such an idiotic statement, I can't even begin to disassemble it.

Look, I'm a gamer myself, I'm even in the middle of playing GTA:SA myself, but I'm also 25-years old. There's a reason games are rated M, movies are rated R or NC-17, and CDs have the Parental Advisory stickers. Parents should do about 2 minutes of internet research to figure it out, it's not hard. Blindly buying this stuff for kids is just plain stupid.

If the code is on the disc then it should not be distributed to children.

Exactly who is "distributing" these games to children anyway? Think REAL hard about it.
