That quote from the Post is one of the most insensitive, inappropriate and classless things I've ever read in a newspaper. It's extremism of the McCarthy-kind, and in itself, is just as guilty of the kind of exploitation for the sake of making money (to sell papers) as the game it criticizes. To compare the sexual molestation of a child with cancer, to an M-rated video game that has been on the market for years is a deliberate and greedy attempt to sensationalize an issue for the financial gain of the paper.
This is an old man, out of the loop, who just got wind of this "vidya game." He'll find another (not new) bandwagon to jump on soon enough so I doubt we'll hear much more about this from him. Don't you just love the fact that the censor-happy pundits and politicians talk about the violence in every game on the market, except for America's Army, the U.S. Army's multi-million dollar recruitment project that prides itself on realism (with a real-world levelling-up reward system for killing and completing obj).
And yeah, the Haitians have a chance in hell against Western Capitolism. Not saying racial insensitivity isn't everywhere in the game, but come on. After it's release on Xbox, the game's already reached every gamer that it's going to.
Don't even get me started about "Government as Parent" though. Parents who care and actually "parent" won't let their young child play a game like GTA3, and parents who aren't involved, or who don't care, have children that will find trouble and have trouble even if they never play a single video game growing up. damn that pissed me off =P
