The insane values of our time
The news that GTA San Andreas contains a "sex mini-game" which can be unlocked with a mod have exploded into a media frenzy which only goes to show how twisted a society we live in these days. By now Hillary Clinton is up in arms. For what?
Let's break this down shall we... In GTA San Andreas the player:
- Can kill people in numerous, graphical ways
- Can take part in organized crime
- Is encouraged to ignore all possible traffic laws
- After modding the game: Have sex.
For some bizarre reason our society thinks that it's OK to have C H I L D R E N (apparently it's rated 17 or older in the states) play a game with this amount of violence. But when the news surface that a mod can turn the game into a filthy naughty sex simulator everyone is suddenly up in arms. Sheesh!
I'm not saying that sex should be taken lightly. Hell, I was I virgin until I was 20 for Pete's sake... But I for one would rather see my children fucking their brains out than killing people or wreaking havoc in traffic. Apparently that makes me a minority.
