Thoughts and Provocations on Sex and Culture

Blow their heads off, but no blow jobs

Accurist watch Advert
America is reacting to sex again, this time found in a video game.

Politicians are jumping on the band-waggon, and family groups are exclaiming their outrage.

But this is just another example of pure hypocracy.

The game in question, is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. I must admit, that I have not played the game, but it seems that you can shoot people, run them over, cut them up with a chain-saw, and perhaps worse.

But download a "hack", and you can unlock a hidden scene in the game which features cartoon-like chatacters having sex.

Before the sex scenes were discovered, the game was rated M: Mature Audiences which should only be played by people 17 years old and older. The sex scenes up the rating to AO: Adult Only, and should only be played by people 18 years old and older.

So what it the justification for sexual scenes being deemed worse that use of a chain saw to murder people? Beats me.

Remember: In the land of the free you can ...

Carry a gun at either 16 or 18 (someone correct me here please).

Have sex and star in a porn movie at 18.

Drink only when you're 21.

An best of all ...

You can't teach kids that Darwin's theory of evolution is possibly true no matter what age you are. Otherwise you my upset some southern christian fundamentalists.

Vive Le difference!

that's so ridiculous. they obviously just want kids to get used to seeing violence so that the following year they'll have no problem getting sent off to Iraq. oh please, violence is obviously way worse, and there's nothing wrong with sex.

I think it's an insult to women to say that our bodies are more offensive then violence. I have no problem with nudity, but in that game they rape prostitutes which is totally NOT FUCKEN COOL! THe least they could do is put out a video game featuring hookers beating up abusive johns.

I found that interesting (and apalling) too! Okay to glorify thugs, gangs and every kind of uncivil and criminal activity up to and including murder but make sure you don't have anybody having a little sex. THEN Target and the other big retailers will pull it from the shelves! What a pathetic, fucked up society we have!

And the whole world laughed about that! Quite funny. The less funny thing is that more and more countries seem to adopt America's conservative point of view in regard to sex. Disgusting.

Just because someone is 18 or older doesn't mean that they possess the level of maturity to distinguish between real-life and bone-head video game crappola. Censorship is not protecting the majority. Capitalism always wins here in America, usually at the expense of its own children/adults.

I doubt that there's much difference emotionally between a 17 year old and an 18 year old.
