Sims 2 content worse than Hot Coffee on GameSpot describes how crusading attorney Jack Thompson is directing his concerted anti-gaming focus on The Sims 2, saying its salacious unlockable content "is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse." Hey Jack... pick on someone your own size!

I really think you're over-estimating the legal system in the US if you think this is cut and dried

Thompson would have to show some kind of malicious intent on the part of EA in order for it to go anywhere legally. Unless he's completely off his rocker I doubt Thompson will try to litigate any of this. I'm guessing he's going to try and embarrass EA into some kind of recall to place warning stickers much like he did with R*. Ultimately he knows all this press will have a negative cumulative effect on public opinion so when he brings the next Paducah-type case to court he'll stand a better chance.
