You'd think da hos would have bigger things to worry about, like maybe DISEASE?!?!?! Sheesh!

[Jing]

.... rotfl.
he should just stop doing so

[Jackal]

Are those ho's from Marvel Comics? I don't get it? JeffX, where's the superhero relation?

You're killing me with the suspense.

[ShAuN]

LMAO THATS HILARIOUS!! I know, like they need to worry about this. One should be diseases, and oh yea maybe #2 should be a real job

[Jackal]

Prostitution isn't a real job? Wtf are you on? Crack?

They have to please ugly ass motherfuckers such as yourself, real job? That's one hell of a job.

I remeber when I was younger I thought of paying for a prostitute. Then I went to high school and I realized there wasnt any need to do that anymore.

In places where prostitution is legal, it's actually considered a profession.

You can kind of see where they're coming from I suppose, but you could also suggest it promotes ignoring traffic rules and freely running over pedestrians and committing murder full stop. Until we have hordes of people imitating the game - which history suggests is very unlikely - I'm still on the side that says video games are not responsible for society's ills.

That said, I can understand people wanting to censor it and not allow their children to play the games. But I believe that in the end it's the parents' responsibility to monitor what they're children are playing, teach them correct values and impose censorship in the household. There are governing bodies associated with video games and other media that needs to take responsibility, but that doesn't absolve the consumer from any responsibiliy either.

But who would have thought we'd see concerned parents and prostitutes standing side by side, fighting for what they believe in?

It's actually regarded as the world's first official profession...

Isnt it 5 in the morning there? I would have never thought someone with kids on the way, a dynasty, a wife, a very succesful "Work from home " job would be up at 5 in the morning looking up encarta.. but im sure you have your reasons.

Exactly. During the holidays, I saw parents BUYING San Andreas for their kids. Can't blame Rockstar for that.

[J@3]

I nearly bought it today. It was 50% off, got some clothes instead though. I might pick it up next week.

See, that's what I don't get. How can someone complain about the content and claim ignorance when they've had a chance to see what it is and tell the kids "No, you're not playing this game"? The plot/concept is outlined on the box and the warnings are there. If you ignore those, you can't get upset and cry foul over a supposed lack of censorship when the opportunity to monitor and control what your kids are playing. Yet these parents do.

I guess I must be pretty good, looking up past court rulings all night, and finding time to post in an NBA forum in between... Feels good to work an all-nighter, eh?

Because that would be too damn much for Dweever to handle at one time.

What are they doing? They are killing off a avenue of free advertising for future customers (underage kiddies who play that have parents who don't give a shit about censorship)
