This Grand Theft Auto Thing is really starting to piss me off
I need help understanding something, now that an 85 year old grandma has decided to sue Rockstar games, because the sex in the game was inappropriate for her 14 year old grandson (but carjacking and killing innocent people amongst the other illegal activites in the game was acceptable for a 14 year old apparantly)...... here's a portion of that story:

Gamemaker Sued Over Hidden Sex in GTA
NEW YORK - A woman upset that she bought the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for her 14-year-old grandson without knowing it contained hidden, sexually explicit scenes sued the manufacturer Wednesday on behalf of consumers nationwide.
Florence Cohen, 85, of New York, said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that the game's manufacturer, Rockstar Games, and its parent company, New York-based Take Two Interactive Software Inc., engaged in false, misleading and deceptive practices.
She sought unspecified damages on behalf of herself and all consumers nationwide, saying the company should give up its profits from the game for what amounted to false advertising, consumer deception and unfair business practices.
Cohen said in the suit that she bought the game in late 2004 for her grandson when it was rated "M" for mature, for players 17 and older. According to the suit, she directed that it be taken away from her grandson, which was done.

I just cannot understand why people are in such a fucking uproar over this. Let's get this straight - it's OK for the game to include ridiculous violence, which goes against society's values, but it's NOT OK for it to include sex, which is the reason every person on the planet exists??? Am I missing something here, or has the majority just totally lost their minds?
