I tell you, kids are more likely to be corrupted into starting a war for WMD vaporware these days than getting a high from imitating a game.

Yet another chapter in the saga...





Australia Bans San Andreas
"Hot Coffee" burns Aussie ratings board.
by Wade Steel
July 29, 2005 - Australia's Office of Film and Literature Classification today revoked the MA15+ classification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas due to the now-infamous "Hot Coffee" content, according to a report at GameBiz.com.au.



According to the Australian ratings agency, the unlockable "Hot Coffee" content forced the group to revoke the game's classification because of the "pornographic" nature of the material.

With this ruling, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas can no longer be sold or rented in Australia.

Wasn't the GTA series banned in Austrailia or something like that, anyway?

Like the Ammunation commercial in the game said about Australia: "Win an actual anti-aircraft gun, actually used when we whooped Australia's ass!"

Your portrayal of diabetics as cold offends me, and thus I plan on suing you. I, sir, also have diabetics in my family, and find your comment to be in poor taste.

On a tangent, have you seen Penn and Teller's BULLSHIT? One episode deals with this woman from "hush-up.com" or .net or something. It's funny, because while she crusades for people to stop using language she finds in poor taste, she has not problem blaspheming someone else's religious figure.

Sorta tangential comment there, but the "I'm suing because this offends me" stuff made me think of it.

BULLSHIT! is freakin awesome.

You suck and I hate you. Neener neener neener.

I'm going to sue you, btw.

No. :'(

Kane Knight,


I demand one bazillion dollars for the fact that your name is one letter 'K' away from having the same acronym as a racist based group. There were some African Americans in my family a LONG way back, and I think I may distantly be related to them (:shifty: ). Also, by having the word Knight in your name, you're suggesting that you like the "night", which makes you sound Goth. In turn, you discriminate against my friends and I for wearing sweater vests. I'll see you in court.

....BITCH. :shifty: (Just kidding, I'm still your manwhore!)

UmbrellaCorporation,

I am going to sue you for 694632163.3 sdofnadsofn-illlion dollars. You have "Umbrella" in your name and I once tried to jump off my roof with my umbrella because I saw Mary Poppins do it. I injured myself and Umbrella brings back harmful memories.

I deserved that. :'(

You used the " :'( " who has been released by TPWW. I have officially become his lawyer and we will be sueing you for every umbrella you own.

Good Day.

Subsequently, after I saw that, my girlfriend got pregnant.

DAMN YOU HOT COFFEE, YOU'RE RUINING MY LIFE!

GOD DAMMIT, you're not supposed to stick the memory card in her slot.

Anyone hear about Jack Thompson coming after the Sims 2 now? I doubt legal action is to be taken, but I'd laugh if it was. He claimed they're gleefully participating in pornography or some shit.

He's also coming after Killer 7.

That has to be one of the greatest euphamisms I've ever heard.

its old but I just thought youd want to know.Sorry if its posted already.

Sims 2 content "worse than Hot Coffee"

Miami attorney Jack Thompson claims cheat codes make EA's life sim a pedophile's paradise by showing genitalia; calls for ban on T-rated game.

How do you like your hot coffee? If you're Jack Thompson, you like it scalding game publisher's laps. The Miami attorney and antigaming activist has done his share to see that games don't fall into the wrong hands. And lately, those hands have belonged to almost everyone.

Thompson was among those who spearheaded the recent effort to slap an "Adults Only" rating on Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and he's often been on the forefront of many other gaming issues, several of which have targeted the crime-spree-based GTA franchise. In the past, he's represented defendants who have been the victims of GTA-inspired crimes, including the triple homicide of three police officers by an 18-year-old boy in Alabama.

His beef with San Andreas? Unused code in the game that depicts sexual acts. These minigames can be unlocked by using game-cheat devices or patches available on the Internet.

Thompson is on a roll...and he's not done yet. His latest goat is a game that doesn't involve guns, carjacking, or prostitutes: He's going after Electronic Arts' The Sims 2.

In a manifesto sent today to press outlets, Thompson focuses on dismantling the Entertainment Software Ratings Board and exposing what he calls the industry's "latest dirty little secret." The secret's out now, and it involves nude sims.

In the statement, Thompson says, "Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise ... contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair."

The Sims 2 is a "life simulator." In the game, players steer their digital beings around their cyberlives. Actions include everything from the spectacular (getting married, having children, receiving promotions at work) to the mundane (cooking microwaved meals, going to the bathroom, mopping the floor). Such activities, as in real life, sometimes require nudity. EA circumvents inappropriateness by "blurring" out the nether regions, almost to a comical sense.

Knowing that the game is popular among all ages, EA has even taken steps to ensure that Sims fans aren't exposed to indecent depictions. In the recent expansion pack, The Sims 2 University, gamers can send their teenage sims off to college. However, instead of packing the expansion with "keggers" and "reefer," EA chose to use juice and bubble blowers.

Thompson doesn't seem to care. He cites a cheat code that can remove the blur that covers the nether regions. "The nudity placed there by the publisher/maker, Electronic Arts, is accessed by the use of a simple code that removes what is called 'the blur' which obscures the genital areas. In other words, the game was released to the public by the manufacturer knowing that the full frontal nudity was resident on the game and would be accessed by use of a simple code widely provided on the Internet."

It's not just the adults that are liberated from their wardrobes. Sims kids can also be nudified, "much to the delight, one can be sure, of pedophiles around the globe who can rehearse, in virtual reality, for their abuse."

Were this to be true, Thompson would have his smoking gun, and EA would be forced to recall all copies of The Sims 2. However, it's what's under the blur that Thompson's after. And what happens when the blur is lifted? A simple mannequin-esque smooth body, according to EA.

Jeff Brown, vice president of corporate communications at EA, in response to the accusations, told GameSpot, "This is nonsense. We've reviewed 100 percent of the content. There is no content inappropriate for a teen audience. Players never see a nude sim. If someone with an extreme amount of expertise and time were to remove the pixels, they would see that the sims have no genitals. They appear like Ken and Barbie."

Thompson doesn't buy it. "The sex and the nudity are in the game. That's the point. The blur is an admission that even the 'Ken and Barbie' features should not be displayed. The blur can be disarmed. This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse."

[UPDATE] Thompson this afternoon updated his earlier statement, saying he is aware certain mods only remove "the blur," but adds that "Electronic Arts has done nothing about this." Thompson's new conclusion: EA is "cooperating, gleefully, with the mod community to turn Sims 2 into a porn offering."

The last time we checked, The Sims 2 was rated T for Teen by the ESRB, which means that anyone 13 years of age, with $50 to spend, can purchase the game.

I bet hes a pervert himself and thinks by doing all this no one will suspect him.

lol

I alluded to it, but it's not been posted.

Ugh, don't even remind me of that. Killer 7 is one of the most innovative and fun games I've ever played. It makes me sick to think that people pay this moron to represent them in a court of law.
