"A Silent Epedemic"

In an effort to improve her poll position for her chance to become a front runner for the presidancy, Hillary Clinton choose to attack GTA San Andreas. The problem with the game is the fact that once GTA came out for the pc/mac a moder was able to crack the explicit code with his mod "hot coffee." Here when your hero goes to his girlfreinds house the mod enables the user to see pornographic imagery of the hero "doing" his grirlfreind, instead of seeing the front of the house with suggestive sounds. So is this rockstars fault or is it the moders fault? Well since the porn was not playable content the company may not be at fault. Hillary clinton also wants to give games an adult only rating as well. I think this move by Hillary Clinton is a cheap way to pull votes of concerned mothers. THis also came at an appropraite timing since the democrates where trying to find a way to compete with the republicans family values push.

Andy Cox:

This story's a little long in the tooth, but still interesting. Why is so much attention given to a cheesy sex scene, when there are much more important issues to address in our society?

You should make your links active by selecting them in the editor then click on the link icon (looks like a chain).

Also would be good to have a link to a video of the offending content.
