Several American stores have removed the game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" from the shelves after it was revealed that the game contains hidden scenes where the pixel characters engage in sexual activity.
Grand Theft Auto is known as a massively violent game and until now you would have to be 17 years or older if you reside in the states and wanted to own the game. However the revealing of the hidden sexual activity has resulted in a new restrictive labeling: Adults Only.
So apparently it's okay for teenagers to play a game where random violence is on the menu and blood and gore fills the screen every other minute. The second a character shows his/her private parts or makes out with another character though that's when we have a problem. The lesson to the youngsters: Violence is okay. Sex is bad.
Is it me or is something very wrong here?
