Wayne,
Yes, paedophilia and child pornography are different to the representation of violence, gun play, murder, etc.
A war film in which people are shot is different to disgusting child pornography.
Playing the part of a gangster shooting people in GTA is different to playing the part of a child rapist in this revolting "game".
I dont personally find that differentation "weird" or see any level of hypocrisy in it.
Biznatch,
Thats a view that the courts will need to take. It is very clearly in the public interest that the law enforcment agencies of the UK and USA (and any other country in which Amazon sold this game) get a Warrant and go to Amazon and get the names of everyone who bought this game. They should be arrested in very public way and questioned and investigated very strongly, and if there is a case they should answer it in a court of law. I think we also would accept that the kind of person who buys this "game" is far more likely to be involved in other offences in this area than a normal person.
