Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas sued

In another example of a country gone wacky on get rich easy through litigation, a New York grandmother is sueing Rockstar, the make of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas because she was upset over their "false, misleading, and deceptive practices."

For those that don't know, recently this game was changed to Adults Only rating do because khackers discovered hidden sexual explicit areas on the game. Areas that are by no means easy to access. Now before then this game was Mature Only (17+ years of age), which means if parents where doing their part, and lets face it many don't bother anymore, that 14 year old child should never have owned the game to begin with. Which is a main reason why the case should be tossed out, the grandmother should have never bought the game to begin with. The ONLY difference between a M rating and an A rating is wether the person is 17 or 18 years old. That is it! The judge should toss this case on its ass for that reason alone but we all know it will get settled and her get rich scheme will be a success.

Now of course, led by that worthless piece of crap Hillary Clinton, Congress once again wants to somehow legislate video games. This is a good example of how laws don't always help. Here is a rating systems that clearly states children shouldn't own the game. Its all over the box, the advertisement, any read up on the game would make it clear on any internet site in the world. Yet this and many other adults go right out and buy the games anyway turning them over to children without making even basic research or I don't know, reading the fucking box. Then they go crying about how they didn't know. How about instead of trying to force retailers to somehow tell adults what to do, they punish the parents for not doing their fucking jobs. I am so sick of everyone else being punished because of the laziness of others.

Anyone can agree that the extra content, since not really meant for retail use, should have been removed from the code before it shipped. The fact that it took over a year to be discovered is a good indication it wasn't meant to be found, but still, not there can never be found. They have since been punished with the bad press, loss of sales, and the government scrutinizing everything. Yet no one still asks the fundamental question, how can government "fix it" if parents don't do their part. If Clinton wants to do something useful, ask the question "where where the parents?"
