The fun never stops. The North American-based "anti-alcohol organization" known as MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is up in arms over Grand Theft Auto IV, claiming that the game's ability to let Niko get behind the wheel while inebriated makes GTA IV worthy of an Adults Only rating. To step their publicity stunt and up a notch, MADD claims that they have appealed to the "game's manufacturer" (Take Two?) to halt production of the game out of social responsibility, "out of respect for those who've been hurt or killed by drunk drivers".

There's something horribly, treasonously wrong in a country of the people, by the people and for the people, where the government functions by lying to the people.

Those who are too ignorant to comprehend that there is a difference between virtual and real life represent those who are too lacking in intelligence to understand that people, humans, perform their own actions, make their own choices, and complete their lives the way they chose whether it be done so in success or failure. People all around the world are capable of causing extreme chaos and yet all these ignorant "mothers" do is sit around complaining about the actions performed in a virtual world? Whether people like it or not, violence will always be. There is no preventing it! I have not yet played Grand Theft Auto IV, but I have played GTA, GTA 3, GTA:VC and GTA:SA. None of the previous GTA games were nearly as bad as people emphasized. Yes, I admit, they were pretty graphic and most definitely full of profanity, but be honest here: What percentage of the youthful population today has not seen or heard blood? Violence? Profanity? Nudity? What is so "bad" about a few words? What is wrong with displaying the human body? Are we so ashamed of ourselves that we are afraid to show our true selves?

One of the great things I love about the free market is that it speaks with $, something everyone can understand... The GTA series has made lots & lots of $... WHY? We want it that way, and we'll pay $... Now for those that still don't get it, listen carefully... it's a VIDEO GAME!!!
