Yahoo! News - Group Cites Video Games for Violence, Sex
by Mike the Usurper at 3:40 am EST, Nov 24, 2004

] In issuing its annual report card on video games, the
] National Institute on Media and the Family urged the
] industry to educate parents better about ratings and
] asked retailers not to sell such games to younger
] teenagers.
]...
]
] Among those listed as the worst games of the year was
] "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," a game in which the hero
] vows to avenge his mother's murder and restore glory to
] his neighborhood gang. Players rack up points by gunning
] down police, committing carjackings, burglarizing homes
] and dealing in other underworld activities

Well gee, it's got a great big M on it and it's predecessor won Jenna Jameson an award for best voice work. For some reason I don't think "families" are it's target audience. Schmucks.

] Sen. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites), D-Conn., credited the
] industry for creating many good games but said the small
] percentage of games with extremely violent or
] pornographic content is "worse than ever."
]
] "The fact that the assassination of President Kennedy,
] which broke our hearts and altered our history, could
] become the subject of a video game from which people are
] making money is just outrageous, it is despicable, it's
] unbelievable," Lieberman said.

Fuck you Lieberman! This is the democratic party at its lowest. The assassination of JFK is the subject of many books, several movies, and several documentaries, but the minute someone makes a video game out of it protest breaks out. Stupid. The only reason you think its outrageous is because you don't understand computers!!!!!
