www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8728577/Woman is Editeded GTA:San Andreas has nudity in it. She's okay with the fact that the game mostly involves killing people. But someone might see an animated breast!

Apparently she is not aware of the giant leap in graphics engine technology that makes that breast appear life-like. Some people have no class.

Man, this lady is pretty late to the bandwagon. Plus, her grandson is 14. He's not exactly too young to know about the birds and the bees. Semi-related article on censorship: www.economist.com/printedition/displayStory.cfm?Story_ID=4199162I don't think this article mentions it, but another piece in the same issue of the Economist states that the FCC is considering expanding its reach to cable TV, satellite TV, and maybe even satellite radio. I'm not linking that piece b/c its subscription only.

I guess that' a good argument. The most powerful one is that Congress can study the problem all they want and all they will find is a correlation between kids playing video games and some kids acting violently. However, the numbers of these kids acting out and breaking the law like in GTA is such a statistically insignificant amount of the overall number of kids playing these games that it is highly unlikely that there is any causation there. Maybe its other factors in these kids lives - geez maybe the village that's raising that kid should do something about it and not the government. In short, Hillary, you are a Democrat - there is a SCOTUS nomination going on, the president has plans to drill in Alaska, open up freee trade with everyone, labor unions are splitting up, your party has hemoraged values voters in the last 12 years, the Patriot Act is up for renewal, theres a plan to revitalize social security, and oh yes there's a war going on. Grow a pair and tackle a real issue - not computer generated boobs that you need to cheat to see in the first place.
