People are stupid.

First, we have the asshole politicians who condemn GTA:SA for being hackable to display "hardcore gratuitous sex" (while clothed, no less).

And now, we have the asshole lawyer who wants The Sims 2 banned.


Quote:
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."




Where do these people come from? Why haven't they died from their own sheer stupidity yet?

Darwin, you have failed me again.

Reherse their abuse? So if you're a pedophile, you're going to go online and access code that will allow you to virtually tormet a little naked Sim-Boy who doesn't give a shit, as opposed to downloading 20 GBs worth of hard-core kiddie porn you could get just as effectively and easily?

Poloticians, man.

Freaking retarded I must say! >pounds gavel on the desk<

Maybe we should sue all of the P2P networks for existing, because SURELY they're providing kiddy porn to all those crazy pedophiles! Oh Oh! How about Websites!!! Yea! I dont need a cheat code to goto google and type in, 'pre teen'! Idiots...

Im sorry, but its things like that, which when brought up, gives gaming a -BAD- name.

It makes me wonder if the lawyer is a pedophile... He noticed it and labeled it in that manner... Poor, sick, demented fella. ;)

Why don't we just ban Al Gore? He invented the internet, and clearly everything on the internet is bad.

Does this guy have anything better to do than try and get a game banned?

Quote: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."


If Ken and Barbie features should not be displayed, then why aren't barbie dolls banned?

Quote: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."


Come on, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Even if EA tried to patch the game and prevent the "inappropriate mods" from working, it would only be a matter of days before someone else cracked the new code.

BTW, Good point ildave1 .

They still haven't realized that they live in a world where people have to make choices in life. Why don't they just fucking ban people from making choices in their daily lives. Dinks... Go suck a dick.

Evolution no longer plays a role in our lives. The Darwin awards are not as common as they could/should be. Our society is designed to protect the weak, which is good. Unforuntatly "weak" isn't just physical.
