First, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas makes news after some dork hacks the code which re-enables a "hot coffee" sex mini-game, and now the governing bodies from Illinois have decided to try to pass a law to fine retailers who sell "M" rated games to kids under 17.
How many times does the U.S. government have to be reminded that when dealing with entertainment and art, the general public consensus is: "stay the F#CK out of our bedrooms and living rooms!?" It's been said time and time again: one man's filth is another man's art. What offends one, may titilate another. Keep your damn noses out of our private lives, please. And as for the whole "but we have to protect our children" argument, I say B#LLSH!T. We label "dirty" movies and games accordingly. It's up to the parents to filter out what they deem appropriate for their own kids. I don't think the government should raise our children any more than they already do.
Parents, show some responsibility and pay attention to what your own stupid kids are playing and watching. Leave all this censorship to places like Germany, China, and The Middle East. Let's try and at least maintain the illusion that America still cares about its citizens and their own, personal freedom of choice.
