In a move that is sure to stabilize the Middle East and end world hunger, the video game industry on Wednesday changed to adults-only the rating of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas," thanks in large part to the pressure being applied by Senator Hilary Clinton.
Apparently, in case you missed the story, Rockstar Games, who makes the Grand Theft Auto games, shipped the game with a hidden sex scene. A downloadable patch on the Internet unlocked the scene and made it viewable by the innocent eyes of the youth playing the game.
Now, let's talk about what Grand Theft Auto is: It is a game where you, as the main character, run around to complete missions that these thugs send you on. As part of those missions, you steal cars for transportation, shoot people, blow up buildings, shoot cops. I haven't played San Andreas but part of Vice City was selling drugs out of the back of an ice cream truck. But a hidden sex scene, now that is over the line.
So, thank you Senator Clinton for bringing much needed attention to this epidemic in video games. Cheating, killing and all are fine...but hidden scenes must be stopped. The world is now a much better place.
