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.
