[…that’s not something we want boys doing.](http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/GoodMorningAmerica/GMA021031Grand_theft_auto.html) No!? Really? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. Understatement of the Year, David Walsh, the president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family. Not a Pit thread 'cause I found this hilariously dumb. I’ve given up on the media ever understanding computer games. ---

I just bought GTA:VC today (haven’t yet played it), but…from the cover alone, I’m feeling horny and homicidal. ---

I don’t agree that players should be rewarded fot theft and killing everything in sight. Maybe that’s why the irony of this quote from your link disturbs me… “I’m for freedom of speech but … Grand Theft Auto is heinous,” Washington Post columnist Mike Wilbon said on ESPN’s live commentary show, Pardon The Interruption. “The people who put it together should be stoned in the street.” ---

Walsh was interviewed on the Today Show and I actually thought he did a decent job of not getting hysterical over it. In fact, he complimented the graphics, and disagreed with Wilbon’s “stone them” speech. He also pointed out that the game /is/ geared for adults and made no comments pro or con about the game’s appropriateness for adults. His point (again, in interview) was that parents should know what this game is about, so that they can make an informed decision about their children’s exposure to it. In fact, the interviewer was trying to go for the hysteria-angle (surprise, surprise) and IMHO Walsh didn’t take the bait. I only mention this because it honestly surprised me that a Tipper knock-off was not actively trying to ban something. FWIW. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ferrous \* > \*\* > Okay, this is driving me crazy.

That might be what you’re thinking of. ---

He obviously has no objection to the countless films produced depicting (much more realisically) murder, rape, prostitution etc. The irony of advocating a brutal attack on the writers of the game seems to have escaped him. ---

Lessee. Doesn’t the entertainment industry use a VOLUNTARY ratings system? Oh, yeah, they do! It’s simple: pay attention to the ratings. Impressionable kids should not play GTAIII. It’s not made for them. The developers and gamers have said so repeatedly. It’s not being marketed to people under 17. Yeesh. Movies have ratings; people follow them. I think that part of the problem is that games are a relatively new medium of entertainment. I can see how that’s scary. But it’s no reason to shun them. I think games are slowing beginning to come into their own as a media for storytelling and entertainment different from but alongside movies. It’s the future, so why not get over it? ---
