It is the price you pay for freedom of speech. This one probably costs $39.95. Wait till after Christmas and get it for $19.95.
Is Wal-Mart the only store selling this game? Is that why they are mentioned in the article?
If it is rated for 18 and over, than you can not say it is twisting young minds. If a parent allows their child to play this game, we do not have a right to stop them.
The whole thing sounds repulsive to me, but I do not have the right to ban someone elses ideas. If I do enforce my will, than I am open to having someone ban my ideas.
We have to trust in people's good judgement. If the game is as repulsive as it sounds it will only be bought by people with that brand of thinking already.
I can not imagine the majority of Christians would condone such a game in their house.

I notice some parents don't know what their children are seeing. It is up to the parents to be aware. If they want the government to protect them, then you have "Big Brother". Not the way I recommend going.

Quote:I don't remember seeing any advertisements aiming GTA or any other certificate game at Children. Also I hardly think parents giving their Children games they aren't old enough for is the fault of the game or it's developer. I can't see any viable argument for why either the game or developer should be held to account for either a retailers desire to make profit even if they're breaking the law, nor a parent who can't be bothered to actually parent.

Sounds like blaming cars and their manufactures for people speeding to me.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Well, the US Federal Trade Commission disagrees with your memory. According to a 2000 study they found that most video games with a mature rating are marketed to children under 17.
But the real problem is that people don’t care. The software developers and retailers just want to sell their product to the largest audience who will buy it and in many cases that means children. And many parents are just happy to plant their children down in front of a computer to keep them quiet and out of their hair. Concern for what the children are experiencing and what impact it may have on their behavioral development is often secondary.
