Why is Hot Coffee such a major issue?
I think I'll confuse the issue with some facts:
1. Second Life - any person with a capable computer, email address, and internet connection can login to Second Life for free and watch explicit porn all they want, cyber, get hookers, explicit skins for their avatar and the like.
2. The Sims/Sims2 - plenty of 'adult mods' there - PLENTY. I have most of them~ ;)
3. There are some other 'niche' games out there, I won't mention any specifics that are much, much more graphic.
4. Anyone with an internet connection can just Google and find many adult games and get many, many, many free trials.
5. Most Cable Networks have Hardcore Porn on demand
6. There is LOTS of porn on the internet - including court briefs filed by Jack Thompson that have explicit images in them.
7. Umm, Playboy, Genesis, Hustler - etc... I seen FAR worse in some of those magazines in the 70's than GTA can even come close to.
8. MTV - 'nuff said
9. Cartoon Network late night shows - say 'penis' more times in an hour than in the whole of GTA
10. Music - free on Yahoo, and other spots LEGALLY that have more explicit language in 5 minutes than GTA has in the entire game
11. Out in Public - have you seen what some people wear in public at the pool and the beach?
12. Spike TV, entertainment TV - breasts and ass 24/7
13. I could add 15+ stations to the above statement
I could go on.... and on...
If you grew up in the 70's - you are certainly not 'unaware' of the sex out there. That's when it really started getting 'non-taboo'.
Go watch Woodstock Jack... OMGZ!@#!@#!@# THERES aRE NAKED PEOPLE IN THERE!!!
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:40am Jack Wessels: @PHOENIXZERO: Do you really think that would stop him?
Posted 07/09/08 at 12:29am PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.
Posted 07/08/08 at 11:10pm Shadow Darkman Anti-Thesis of : Dennis you should post that story about JT insulting Judge Tunis. There might be more you could find that Kotaku missed.
Posted 07/08/08 at 08:32pm lordlundar: Jack should realize that when you call everyone crazy, then the only crazy one is the you.
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:06pm DarkTetsuya: @GP I just fear for the safety of your fax machine cause you didn't post it :P
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".
Posted 07/08/08 at 06:02pm PHOENIXZERO: Because I was bored and channel surfing. =(
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:59pm GRIZZAM PRIME: PHEONIXZERO, Why the hell are you watching CNN's sodomy butt baby(HLN)?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:53pm Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:34pm PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:28pm PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:24pm PHOENIXZERO: CNN has wanted to be Fox Jr since Fox started spanking them in the ratings and Turner was removed from power.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:11pm PHOENIXZERO: UGH, they have the CT AG on there... He sounds like Jack.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm PHOENIXZERO: >_> You can call in 1-800-TELL-HLN.
Posted 07/08/08 at 05:09pm PHOENIXZERO: CNN HLN is doing a segment on Beer Pong with their other "morality" blowhard Mike Galanos.
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:47pm Jabrwock: This just in! Jack insults someone. News@11
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:44pm mogbert: I think we can skip that story, we can't cover JT every time he insults someone, we would run out of server space...
Posted 07/08/08 at 03:43pm gamepolitics: nah, intentionally didn't post that... it's just a publicity grab... I only have so much JT tolerance, save 4 more relevant news
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:57pm Xlorep DarkHelm: Dennis doesn't post every little tidbit of information about Whacky-Jacky.
Posted 07/08/08 at 02:52pm DarkTetsuya: freak4all: I just posted that ... but yeah they did
