Federal GTA Lawsuit [Jan 01, 2004, 2:35 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Suit seeks to ban sales of popular video game (thanks Mike Martinez): "A
lawsuit by Haitian groups that asks for the top-selling video game 'Grand Theft
Auto: Vice City' to be removed from store shelves will be decided in federal
court. " Also,
Give Back Take Two (thanks Hump and Steve Nutley) has complaints from The
New York Post about GTA, apparently making the case for how depicting
violence in a game is worse than molestation: "This is 10,000 times worse than
the worst thing anybody thinks Michael Jackson ever did to a little boy."
I sent an email to the author. Went like this:
Dear Mr. Byron,
I have played and enjoyed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have never killed anyone, nor have I ever struck anyone in anger. People enjoy different forms of entertainment, and while video game violence may not be your bag, it certainly is enjoyed by many other adults. The fact that children can buy and be influenced by games of this type only stands as testament to the horrible parenting skills of many Americans. Instead of sensationalizing the fact that these games are made, perhaps you should draw attention to the fact that many parents irresponsibly allow their children access to this type of entertainment
