what does this have to do with mothers against drunk driving?
are people playing this video game while they are driving and drunk?
they make a game where you can kill police officers with a dildo, and they are upset that it shows someone drinking?
sorry ladies, you need to loosen up. maybe have a couple beers. it's ok. I'll do the driving.

One thing's for sure. THe makers of GTA are LOVING this publicity. Maybe they'll donate some of their increased profits to MADD? Hell, for all we know one of their people sent a letter to MADD to get the ball rolling. That would be the smart thing to do.
It is game for those people to lazt to get out of the house get drunk shoot up and rob people and beat up hookers on the outside !
Personally I take care of the killing of the Drunk drivers that is.( potassium and lidocaine never fails ) I use Fentanyl on the mothers ( if they are milfs ) to loosen them up . I love my job skill set !what does this have to do with mothers against drunk driving?

Grand Theft Tool Box?
Just kidding, I don't even really understand his post anyway.

People piss and moan about anything. There were loads of car accidents way before video games came out. I remember reading somewhere that a religious group either wanted Destroy All Humans 2 banned or have it given and adult rating cause it takes the piss out of religion. That's just sad, they need to get a life!

Conspiracy...
Rating guide
The rating is seventeen and older. People start driving at sixteen.
So, where's the problem? The only problem is women with too much time on their hands.
They should work on something constructive.
Like raising the driving age to eighteen.
Then they can make me a steak.
Absolutely ridiculous. Crime isn't a game either but well you get the point. It's a video game that is rated M. You have to practically be an adult to buy it and even if it was rated AO what makes them think kids won't be playing it. I don't see them trying change ratings on movies that feature drunk driving. They need to get together and actually focus on real life rather than the video game. Besides there are consequences in the game for drunk driving and you could call a taxi however every taxi that I've called has passed me by thereby forcing me to drive drunk.
MADD is, of course, correct. This game should not be in the hands of anyone under 21.
The ratings system is a joke. It's hardly enforced by the retailers.
The bigger issue is that this game makes money by exposing American Culture in the worst possible light. It cements all of these pathetic stereotypes (pimps, Hos, drugs etc) and normalizes absurd criminal behavior.
When are we going to say "enough is enough?" This isn't entertainment anymore.
Does this game present a version of America that makes anyone proud to be American?

i think the rating is just fine...
people blame video games for peoples actions...
what about movies, magazines, t.v., SCHOOL...and many other places!!!
i've learned more about drugs in SCHOOL then anywhere else and i dont even do any drugs!
Why does MADD go to a college and check out a frat house?
I hate when people blame someones actions on video games or t.v. PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES IN LIFE...
ITS JUST A FREKAIN GAME...GET OVER IT!!!!

I find it rather insulting as a human being (and an ex-teenager) that people constantly think that teenagers that watch video games are so pathetically ignorant that games like GTA 4 will actually influence any sane teenager to the remotest of degrees.
Why do adults continually forget what they were like when they were teenagers?

I find the game to be entertaining. See the thread about why people are attracted to "the devil" and subversive elements in society.
I also play medal of honor, but it doesn't inspire me to praise the military anymore than GTA makes me want to celebrate criminals.
people play video games so that they can do things that they can't or otherwise won't be able to do in real life. it's as simple as that.

totally agree:thumbsup:
And I suppose that fucking a hooker, killing her, and taking my money back in the game is gonna inspire me to do the same in real life.

It's called becoming "de-sensitized to violence" and forming an absurd chasm between REALITY and the virtual reality of the game.
Since the 70s/80s we've seen images (in movies usually) of "brainwashing" a person which involves force-feeding that person graphic images of sex/violence/whatever through earphones, huge tv screen viewing, and for hours and hours on end.
Doesn't this resemble game-playing today?
I think we're closer to brainwashing a generation of young people into violence-hungry, social misfits than we think...:dunno::thefinger
Don't we all remember reading about the US Military using First-person shooter games as part of soldier-training? Didn't that make anybody pause a bit?
I guess not.
Disclosure: Yes I play games. I like Half-Life on the computer and Resident Evil on consoles..plus sports games. I might buy a Wii someday.
