A bunch of crazies calling themselves Peaceoholics (original, doncha think?) have camped in protest outside of Rockstar Studios, the publisher of the games Grand Theft Auto and the upcoming Bully. They are currently protesting the Bully game, in which you play a school bully. Don’t you love it when people protest something they know nothing about?
Here are their demands:
# Not to release Bully under any circumstances
# Volunteer to sell its violent and sexually explicit games in adult video stores only.
# Let parents return Grand Theft Auto for a full refund until they do a national awareness campaign to educate parents of content and possible effects.
# Create a fund for victims of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and car-jackings, etc.
# Make a national apology for misleading and lying to children, parents, and legislators about their intentions and causing insurance premiums to sky rocket.
# Give a written response within five business days of receipt of these demands.

Pure craziness.

Steven Johnson wrote the book “Everything Bad is Good For You: How Today’s Popular Culture is Actually Making Us Smarter.” In an open letter in the LA Times, he addresses Sen. Hilary Clinton on her convenient and timely stand against the “explicit” sex in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. A good read.

In response to the GTA:SA controversy:
An MIT professor tries to separate fact from fiction by doing an unbiased study on the affects of video games. Definitely worth the read, and he seems very credible.

A Neistat Brothers movie poking fun at the Hot Coffee controversy for GTA San Andreas. Very funny.
