I can't believe the ratings board. When is someone going to overhall that organization?!
From what I understand, the senator instigating the Sims witchhunt isn't even referring to the mod, but to the actual retail version itself. He claims that if you "look real hard" and "use a lot of imagination" you can see "breasts, labia, penises, etc" through the blurring effects. Dear God, I wish I were joking about this, but I'm not. On the other hand, someone needs to do something about that damn "Mona Lisa" painting - when I squint my eyes and use my imagination, I can see everything she's packing. And believe me, brother, that chick was into some kinky shit... I'm going to write to my Congressman, because something should be done about this,
for the sake of the children!
Seriously though, this "Hot Coffee" thing has gotten ridiculous. I heard Wednesday that Sen. Clinton and others are starting a Congressional investigation into whether Rockstar intentionally left the content in the game and deliberately mislead the ESRB. Glad to hear they got that whole Social Security/national security/Mideast peace/world hunger situation taken care of, and now they're just busying themselves with meaningless shit like this. I mean, they'd have to have done all that to be making a huge fuss about mature content being in a MATURE-RATED game that is clearly not intended for anyone under 17 years of age, right? I mean, that would just be absurd, right?
...Right? Um... guys? Hello?
