Politicians Calling For Video Game Investigation

BBC - US politicians have stepped into the storm over secret sex scenes in the best-selling Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas game.
The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly called for investigation into the companies behind the game.

The uproar is over explicit sexual scenes in the game that can be unlocked with software created by a fan.

Last week the game was given an adults-only rating, leading big US stores to stop selling the title.


Right. Because kids might "accidentally" log onto a hacks website, download the hack in question and then install it on their system.

Your tax dollars, hard at work. I mean, what's to investigate here? The fact that somebody wrote a naughty hack for a game? That's pretty much the sum total of what's going on here, and its something that can easily be avoided through a little bit of parental vigilance.

If you ask me this is more about politicians getting their names in the headlines during the political doldrums between elections.
