Breaking News

Jack Thompson today also announced that in addition to GTA and The Sims 2, that the popular doll Barbie promotes lesbianism due to the nudity that is possible once her clothing is removed. Also added to his "hit list" were the following:

"Tripping The Rift"
Networks that covered the Janet Jackson Superbowl Debacle
Every movie to have blatant pointless nudity
Family Guy
My wife
The number "69"
Victoria's Secret
Trojan Condoms (Commercials promoting sex! For shame!)

Does anyone else think this guy is just another wacko who managed to somehow wind up in the spotlight who should be put down for the public good?

You know, I'm sorry. I happen to think the majority of our problems in society is the fact that we try to shield and layer everything away from our "precious children" when in fact, exposing them to it while they are young enough that you can answer their questions honestly and in a controlled environment is probably the far better way to go.

And then there's the fact that most families today have two working parents and so the parents are never around to provide guidance... or are too stupid and ignorant to use common sense.

Why is it always lawyers and politicians who bring this up? You never see a suburban mother making the announcements, or a parental activist group. The reason why? Parents don't pay attention. They don't play these games. They don't watch their children while playing. They happily hand a kid a violent game and then blissfully ignorant, walk away.

It's always a game of blaming someone else to them as well.

As for sex in video games... for crying out loud, I grew up seeing software magazine ads for Liesure Suit Larry... back in the days of ye olde VGA graphics, DOS-based games!

Simply put, sex sells. Moreso to the over-hormonally-stimulated teen population. Duh.

Anyways.

Congrats to NASA on getting Discovery up there, and from my inexperienced eye looking at the underside and leading wing edges of the shuttle from the external fuel tank, it looks like a clean flight.
