Absolutely unbelievable. The scenes in question are not normally available, except through the use of an unauthorised mod - why is that Rockstar's problem? The vast majority of people wouldn't normally see this stuff - but you can guarantee now that people like St Hilary have jumped on the bandwagon, the whole world and their kids (especially their kids ) will be downloading the mod!

Love the photograph heading, btw

Publicity seekers

This is just more exposure (groan) for GTA SA anyway.

I'm new to the game tbh - only installed it this morning. I was a little surprised at the language, but now that I appreciate that it's Snoop Doggy Dog The Game, I'm down with the schizzle, mofo.

Or something.

TBH, with the profanity, graphic violence and all the other good stuff, it's quite surprising that anyone could object to a bit of shagging as well. It would be like complaining about a film using the c-word when there's a billion uses of the f-word & others.

quick lets start publising the nude tomb raider patch thats been out for years! it uses an existing model it's only a retexture Edidos should be sued! /end sarcastic rant

this is silly as the user has to download and install the mod (knowing full well what it entials) thus it's exactly the same as if you went on the internet and typed into the nearest serch engine "fr33 p0r/\/" which I presume would direct youi to simlar content.

Totally agree.

Thing is, what EVERYONE seems to miss is that it's rated to be a MATURE game for ADULTS. Kids should NOT be playing it. It's like saying "Kids will see porn, anyway, nothing i can do about it", or it's like ignoring the 18 cert on a movie, yet, noone complains about movies beacuse that's "art" and "artistic freedom of expression", and Hollywood brings in a shitload of money to the US.

here we go again. Last I checked I didnt murder anyone after playing GTA VC.

But its good to know that the rest of the worlds problems have been 100% solved and now they can continue on the good fight against video games. Although seriously, they are the ones who wanted a rating system in the first place, and now its not good enough? wtf? Hillary can go suck an egg with the rest of them, Im going to buy San An asap. Once again people think that its someone elses job to parent thier children.

But yeah I dont really get the part where the game itself doesnt have this feature enabled by default and how it is rockstar's problem. They didnt release the mod to unlock it.

To be honest I was going to download the game just to see what all the fuss was about but then I found a site that had the video of the questionable acts. Big deal - saved me the download time of an otherwise boring game. I like to drive around, shoot and beat people in the other GTA games but they get old pretty quick. Just look for the video and don't waste your time with the game.

My god I can't stand that woman. She's a horrable Senator for every part of this state other than NYC and doesn't give a rats *** about much of anything but positioning herself for her pesidential run in '08 - eventhough she denies she will run.

That's all I can really say about the news. Oh, and no surprise. Oh, and...GET OFF MY TV YOU STUPID HO!

Oh, my...I think that might have been caused by my exposure to the video game!!! Or maybe...its just because...YOU AN ANNOYIN' HO, HO! SO GET OFF MY TV! Or maybe it's Eminem and Marilyn Manson's faults...you know, we haven't had a congressional investigation into them in months...I'll bet they're up to no good.

You know, there's just nothing constructive I can say about this.

So anyways,
Yo pope, i down wit' da shizzle fo' sho'. It's tough bein' da snoop d-oh-double-g!

If not, just pray to all that you hold dear that she doesn't win in '08. If she does, I'm taking my kids and moving to the UK or Canada. Anyone got a nice 3-bedroom apartment for rent over there?

Yeah. It's cheap because there’s a homeless shelter not even a block away. There’s a prostitute named Fran that always stands right next to my building Close to downtown though.


Nah, seriously, edmonton is very nice. If you go about two blocks south of downtown you're in the valley, surrounded by trees next to a river. If you don't mind the cold, this is one of the best places in canada.

Agreed. Eventhough I lean republican, I would vote for a democrat if I thought they were better. Hillary is just.... I can't describe it.... I think you really need to live in "upstate" NY to really understand. She doesn't really give a hoot about "upstate", only NYC and Long Island and we know that. In fact, if you look at the returns from her election, if you take out NYC and westen Long Island, she only received < 10% of the vote.

Just as long as I can keep my left-hand drive Volvo... I've been watching a new show on Discovery called Top Gear which I guess is a British import and noticed how freakin narrow a lot of your roads are over there! Now I completely understand why you all drive such tiny cars

Also, cause of fuel costs = small cars.

Top Gear is a great show Aired every sunday evening, for the next few weeks at least you can get it on bt
