Spot Light On ... GTA
GTA: San Andreas has drawn some press recently. Perhaps "some" is an understatement. It got enough press to get national headlines, followed by local headlines (we even heard about it in Lubbock).Apparently, some snafu occurred over whether it should get a Mature [M] rating, the original rating it received (which I understand to mean that it's appropriate for 17+), or an Adults Only [AO] rating (which I understand to mean that it's appropriate for 18+). Nevermind the moral, ethical, or religious reasons for rating the game ... and lets ignore what it is that teenagers learn between day 1 at age 17, and day 365.25 (when they hope to be 18). I find the press ridiculous.
Personally, any "kid" which has to jump online, find, download, and install a hacked software patch, and then go find the special password to access the special soft-porn section .... can probably type "porn" or anything else into Google, and find what they're looking for. Nevermind the porn aspect ... Did you know that video games make kids more violent?
So here it is, a wonderful call to everyone's lovable friend, Ms. Hillary Clinton.
