- lrdntwnd, on 12/22/2007, -3/+521This sort of thing is completely unnecessary. The video-game industry has every right to create whatever they want. If there's a market for it, it'll sell. If there isn't, then it won't. Making it illegal to sell a game isn't going to stop people from getting it nor will it stop people from making it. The solution is not to make something illegal. It didn't work with alcohol, it's not working with drugs, it won't work with video games and movies. There are much better ways to go about this than by writing laws. Parental responsibility comes to mind...
- Chompy, on 12/22/2007, -2/+262The problem is that most people over 45 still believe that only children play games.. and they're the ones who vote. We're probably going to have to deal with this crap for another 30 years until enough of these idiots die off so that we can outvote them.
Of course, then we'll be the old fogeys denouncing holographic furry sex as the downfall of our children, and some kid yet unborn will post these exact words on the holoweb about us. Thus the great circle of life will go on. - Czechxican, on 12/22/2007, -1/+215Dugg for "17 to 18 years old -- a crucial year in which a teen develops the necessary psychological defenses to resist the Siren song of polygon porn."
- tanstaafl420, on 12/22/2007, -1/+176Meh, this just shows how skewed her priorities are... I mean government regulating video game sex is so far down on the list of things to give a crap about its laughable.. not that I believe she actually cares about the subject, once again its just a politician windsock swinging with the prevailing winds.
- kaelyiesta, on 12/22/2007, -2/+119Someone should explain to her the role of government in this country. Maybe let her read a little something called the Constitution.
- Rooker156, on 12/22/2007, -38/+154Ron Paul would never do anything like this.
- whatthefu, on 12/22/2007, -0/+97Government censorship is not a proper way to keep "morals."
- Parandroid4, on 12/22/2007, -1/+90She's just angry because she found Bill wacking it to Super Mario Galaxy.
- kreatre2007, on 12/22/2007, -3/+83Clinton needs to keep her damned nose out of our computers. Add this to the long list of reasons why she won't get my vote.
- iching, on 12/22/2007, -1/+80I thought the photo tag was funny for sex ed.
To win, players must maintain a steady rhythm with the left analog stick to build up an "excitement meter" on the right of the screen. Fill the meter and Denise becomes very excited, telling CJ he is "the man" before the game congratulates you with the words "Nice guys finish last!" Let the meter drop to empty and the game admonishes you with "Failure to satisfy a woman is a CRIME!"
Given that the minigame is about as raunchy as an episode of Sex and the City, cannot be accessed without entering a long string of cheat codes, and takes several hours of effort to access, charges that San Andreas is "pornographic" may seem extreme to some. However, its existence does appear to contradict Rockstar Games' carefully worded statement blaming hacker mischief for the existence - XFi6, on 12/22/2007, -3/+78"When I am President, I will work to protect children from inappropriate video game content," she told CSM.
I ain't voting for her... - inactive, on 12/22/2007, -2/+77whats wrong with holographic furry sex?!
- jayb1rd, on 12/22/2007, -3/+76Everyone forgets that Hillary Clinton is the reason I have to show my ID to buy a goddamn video game.
- alexforcefive, on 12/22/2007, -1/+72IT'S DESTROYING OUR NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!
- DeFex, on 12/22/2007, -3/+72someone should ban her. she is offending me.
- felman87, on 12/22/2007, -0/+69I don't want to live in a world without computer generated sex
- freff, on 12/22/2007, -6/+72Thank God. I thought I was going have to go a whole thread without knowledge of what Ron Paul would do.
- zmjone2992, on 12/22/2007, -0/+64I swear that I will support holographic furry sex if I produce children.
- Abominous, on 12/22/2007, -9/+64She needs a lesson in the constitution just like ***** Bush.
- Dokument, on 12/22/2007, -1/+55NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. keep your ***** hands of my pron Hillary.
- delmar14, on 12/22/2007, -6/+58Parental responsibility died when people in this country decided to hand over their destiny (i.e. money and morals) to the federal government. Now everyone blames the great Beaurocracy for all their personal failings
- delmar14, on 12/22/2007, -8/+55Anyone who votes for this two-faced bitch is a ***** pansy and a retard.
- vapblack, on 12/22/2007, -0/+44very well done. dugg for originality.
- xerigen, on 12/22/2007, -1/+44I already have one mom, thanks anyways Hillary.
- mattes5, on 12/22/2007, -0/+42I just remembered why I hate Hilary so bad
- 3tcp, on 12/22/2007, -2/+41Yet one more sign that Clinton is tragically out of touch with what is important to normal people in the real world. The government has more important things to do than tell me what kinds of video games I should be playing.
i shudder to think what she would do if she found out about Leisure Suit Larry - XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, on 12/22/2007, -3/+38why is she a democrat again? our two-party system is not simply conservatives vs liberals anymore.

So I was sitting around the other day, playing "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," when suddenly I received an email with an attachment called "hot coffee mod." So I did what I always do when I get programs from strangers in my email: I ran it.
Then I went back to playing the game and didn't notice anything different, except for when I took my in-game girlfriend back home, she now asks "how about a little coffee?" Naturally I got excited, because I was expecting to see a scene with the protagonist, Carl, and his girlfriend, Denise, sipping a tall cup of joe and discussing the finer points of globalization and how cultural distinction will shape future generations. Instead, I was shocked to learn that Denise wasn't talking about a delicious beverage made from roasted beans, but what she was really talking about was SEXUAL INTERCOURSE.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought there was some mistake, this couldn't be the family-friendly carjacking game I thought I knew. Maybe Denise changed into an outfit that just happened to look like the bust of a naked woman. I watched the scene over and over again, carefully analyzing every pixel, but the conclusion was inescapable: Denise was in fact nude. Or at least had a skin colored texture applied to the surface area primitive of her character's model.
The creator of the game, Rockstar Games, has stated that it will offer a downloadable patch to fix the sex issue in the PC versions, and is working on a new version of the game that will prevent this content from being unlocked in the future.
Thank God. I'll be the first person to download and patch my PC version of "Grand Theft Auto." I want to shoot people in the face, bang prostitutes, traffic drugs, steal cars, and terrorize police officers without this filthy smut in my game. Frankly, I'm appalled that Rockstar would allow such wholesale corruption of our youth. Years from now when America has become a withered husk of the morality it once stood for, historians will look back at what triggered it all and point to one event: a boolean variable that unlocked a simulated sex scene in a video game.
The game is now being taken off the shelves all over the country and re-labeled with an "AO" rating. This is much stricter than the "M" rating the game originally received. According to the ESRB website:
Titles rated M (Mature) have content that may be suitable for persons of age 17 and older.
As opposed to the stricter AO rating:
Titles rated AO (Adults Only) have content that should only be played by persons 18 years and older.
What pisses me off more than anything is that I paid for a game rated for 17 year olds, or possibly 17 and 1/2 year olds, tops. What I got was a game rated for 18 year olds instead.
I think it's only fitting for Rockstar Games to go out of business, and all the programmers lose their jobs over this. God bless Hillary Clinton for allocating tax money to have federal regulators investigate "the source of this content," because if she hadn't, consumers might have to go through the trouble of reading the label on the cover of the box. - dondara, on 12/22/2007, -2/+33She's a US senator for pete's sake ...she probably can't read.
- SiNN4R, on 12/22/2007, -0/+30I almost dugg you down until I realized I agree with you. You need one account for rational statements and another account for your regular statements.
- oxdeltaxo, on 12/22/2007, -0/+28The problem is the AO rating. What difference does one year make? All the AO-rating does is provide politicians the ability to morally police video games if they don't like them. The AO rating is was made for Specifically sexual content, not a normal video game with a side of sex. Thats like rating a normal movie x if theres a sex scene in it. It's kinda retarded.
Tight ass politicians need to re-evaluate their *****. - Taciturn, on 12/22/2007, -2/+30Hillary Clinton is the enemy of life.
- j4200, on 12/22/2007, -0/+28The only factor that is letting children see these MATURE rated games, are those children's parents.
- TGMD, on 12/22/2007, -4/+32Fascist and a socialist. What more do you need?
- jen4asot, on 12/22/2007, -1/+27Hillary, Hillary....who's paying you now?
- Sharkaac, on 12/22/2007, -18/+44RON PAUL 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- swoopdog, on 12/22/2007, -0/+25how does this help the country again?
- Parlay, on 12/22/2007, -2/+27Quick, rule 34 on Clinton!
Ew... - MasterThief117, on 12/23/2007, -0/+24She does not like the fact that computer generated people can have sex while she cannot.
- ashlocke, on 12/22/2007, -1/+24Yeah, this is an awesome waste of taxpayer money. Hilary is a tool.
- chuckythe2651, on 12/22/2007, -2/+25Does this surprise anyone? Mrs. Clinton wants to regulate everything. She believes that the government need to protect the people for themselves.
- alex1015, on 12/22/2007, -0/+23Please don't mention responsibility, people won't understand what you mean
- SiNN4R, on 12/22/2007, -1/+24Yesterday I cut myself shaving so I want to thank politicians who protect me from myself.
- rpi22, on 12/22/2007, -6/+28Thank god for the government!
- kreatre2007, on 12/22/2007, -0/+22She needs to read the 4th Admendment. In it is an implied right of privacy.
- maiku00, on 12/22/2007, -1/+23oh wow, this is EXACTLY where I want the next president of the United States priorities to be
- fantasticFlan, on 12/22/2007, -0/+21Or perhaps the 1st, where there is an expressed right to free speech.
- inactive, on 12/22/2007, -4/+23It seems to me that she is trying to gain some sympathy from the Evangelicals.
- jayb1rd, on 12/22/2007, -0/+18There are so many more offensive things in GTA than sex. I mean, I still play it, but I would be more concerned about the whole having sex with hookers and then shooting them in the face thing than some patch they would have to download to the internet that *kind of* shows oral sex. But then again, as a parent I probably wouldn't buy my kids that game. You know, it's called, like, parenting.
