Grand Theft Idiots
So, about the only game I play on x-box right now is Grand Theft Auto. It's been a good month or two since anything else was in the console. It's a horribly violent game that is suitable for adults, and nobody else.
Ken asked me if I thought he should let his kids play it... to which I responded "Well, if picking up a prostitute, paying her for her services, killing her for your money back, then killing a cop is your idea of a good game for a kid, go nuts."
Last I checked, his kids are still asking.
So when I saw this article, it made me think one thing: What grandma is letting her grandchildren play GTA?
And viola. This is exactly why we need ratings.
But the shame is, the parents that won't spend the time to figure out if the game is appropriate won’t bother to look at a rating either!
On a side note, Peggy thinks the main character in GTA looks like me -- what do you think?

GTA isn't suitable for adults either. Luckily I am not one.
The game is even more fun when you complete missions. :)

Hrm.... so I'm supposed to grow sideburns now....
While studying for my Psychology final I found that "Learning Theory suggests that people will become aggressive if their aggressive behavior is reinforced". No wonder I love this game so much! It must be in my blood.
