Video game ping

*THIS* is the biggest problem hookers have? Being killed off in a video game?

[television is just wrong]

More problems with the video game Grand Theft Auto? Geesh.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Of all protestors... Prostitutes. It's a strange world.

[Clemenza]

I would never let my kids (if I had them) play Grand Theft Auto. I hate people who play video games period.

That being said, the Prostis should focus on something else, like legalizing their business, educating themselves about diseases, ripping off Clemen, er, Johns...

[DeuceTraveler]

Prostitutes are forming unions now?

Good luck getting one of the most popular video games in the world banned. Basically, those who hold video games responsible for criminal behavior lack the capacity for rational thought.

Children are more likely to imitate a character with whom they identify with.

They're not worried about the girls imitating the hookers in the game?

Sex workers cry foul

Somewhere around the time that "Bums" were visited by a fairy princess and magically transformed into "homeless" the whores became "sex workers."

[gridlock]

We mustn't offend the prostitutes! Oh, my, no!

[libertylover]

What were those nuts at Take-Two Interactive thinking? If they'd made a game where you get points for killing off the pro-life protesters they'd have a big hit and praise from the MSM as well.

Gives a whole new meaning to the old union commercial lyric:
"Look for the union label..."

Also, imagine the types of union grievances filed.

We have a new klan - the feminist prostitutes concerned about violence against women which they promote by serving as diseased sexual objects. Feminism has reached its height in insanity.

Since when do people that break the law on a regular basis openly and make a living of it, not to mention most likely spread VD's to hundreds of "customers," have the right to complain about a video game.
---
This is America, everyone has a right to express their opinion, even if I find the protesters' day-to-day behavior repellent.
But this is ridiculous, complaining about immoral acts being depicted in a game about immoral acts. Shouldn't the pavement princesses be complaining that there is no game that depicts their glamorous lifestyle?
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have posted this. I may have given away a real money-making idea.

I'm sure Ted Kennedy for one, is going to have a long "conversation" with most of them (after a few drinks of course)
---
Teddy is only doing research into the issues of..., well something or other, before Senate hearings. How dare you attack his integrity!!!
Oh, that's right, he doesn't have any. Never mind.

Think of all the movies and other media out there that have Hookers getting knocked off. They're a little late if you ask me.

You "hate" people that play video games? What is the source of this rage? If you do have a kid and they happen to play a video game, something horrible like pacman, you will hate them?
