the company should give up its profits from the game for what amounted to false advertising, consumer deception and unfair business practices. I have no problem with that.

Gasp! You mean she bought her grandkid a game where you steal cars and shoot at people, not knowing there might be a sex scene in there to corrupt his morals? Outrageous!

A woman upset that she bought the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for her 14-year-old grandson [snip]
Cohen said in the suit that she bought the game in late 2004 for her grandson when it was rated "M" for mature, for players 17 and older.
They should drop the suit and arrest her.

Oh, Come On!
This is so obviously a put-up job by someone in H. Clinton's circle.
Last week H. Clinton comes out against this very game and this week a grandmother from New York is suing the gamemaker.

????
He was still only 14. Didn't she check the rating BEFORE she gave it to him???

You just knew that this was coming. The free press the company is getting is worth a lot more than this opportunist will be getting.

I saw these scenes for myself in the game and was utterly shocked. I cannot believe someone actually took the time to do all programming and graphic work to put these scenes in a video game. It is pornography plain and simple.
I still don't advocate a lawsuit for outrageous money in this matter as we are already an overly litigious society. A refund for those offended should be punishment enough.

Stupid grandmother. Her grandson is 14 -- this was stated in the article.
She said the game was rated "M" (17 and over) when she purchased it for him.
Why did she knowingly buy him a game for 17 and older and then file suit about it?
No case here.

In my day, a grandma would knit you booties and read you books of nursery rhymes. I don't think she deserves the title of Grandma if she's helping her grandson kill hos and steal cars.

Er... It says "MATURE" right on the side of it. Does this idiot buy her grandson X-rated movies too without realizing what is on it?

I'd be willing to bet that if you did a search, you'd find that the lawyer and/or the grandmother have contributed to H. Clinton...or other Dems.

This game is rated mature. It says so on the box. If she is going to sue anyone, she should sue herself, or at least have the cops press charges against herself for giving this game to a minor.
