Now, they have crossed the line....
I grew up amongst the first generation of video gamers. Even at 36, I still have an XBox and it provides me not only hours of amusement, but an avenue for stress relief. I am of an age now where harsh language and violence not only doesn't bother me, but I actually like to have it (OK - A LOT of it) in my video games, radio, movies, television, and any other avenue of entertainment. So, I recently was playing an older game that I was trying to finish (yes, I still get competitive and take it personally if I cannot complete a video game) called Max Payne 2.
I was in heaven. Shooting people point blank in the face with a shotgun, even taking out some innocent bystanders simply because I could! After killing people, I would continue to shoot them until their bodies blow apart in a complete bloody mess! Then, a scene comes up where Max and the female character in the game have a romantic interlude. It then cuts to a movie like sequence where I have to watch instead of play. Then, to my horror and disgust, I see a brief flash of nipple from the female character. Being an American, I easily understand the need for violence, but SEX??? What is this country coming to??? I was mortified. I looked at the game label and it did say "M" for mature, but nothing regarding nudity. It only stated that it contained "Mature sexual themes." Going back to my high school days, I thought that mature sexual themes was kissing and second base outside of a girls sweater! Was Senator Clinton correct in starting a bill that sets aside federal funding to seek out the sources of such horrid acts within these video games??? So, Federal Funding to wipe out violence in nudity in video games is a must, but funding to remove an evil dictator and his "insurgents," is unnecessary??? Hmmm, THAT makes sense!
Not to mention that had I known there would be actual nudity, I would have made sure I was home alone with a bunch of tissues close by!!! Oh well, enough of THAT rant, I have to go return the Playboy game that I rented to Blockbuster before they charge me full price for it. That is what they do now to make up revenue lost by not charging late fees!!!
