If games shall be bannt then books must be burnt. What an absolutely disgusting association and the media is too, now all there’s left is a big european politician to make a few bucks and press out of our civil liberties here too!?.

You would think they would be pleased. Trying to drive in GTA IV while drunk is a miserable experience, which generally ends up with you being either arrested or getting your car ruined, running over pedestrians and smashing into anything unfortunate enough to get in your way.

I should also note that there are actual Drunk Driving Simulators. How does MADD feel about these?

MADD is also calling on publisher Take-Two Interactive and developer Rockstar Games to consider stopping distribution of the game “out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving.”

They can’t seriously think that they would agree to that. Must be some kind of tactic to poke at the developers to elicit an aggressive response.

Nothing but grandstanding on behalf of MADD. Just like PETA or Al Sharpton, any opportunity to bring attention to themselves and get in the spotlight for a wee bit. Tell mom to go out on the roads in the REAL WORLD where the REAL problem is. Simulations don’t kill, individuals do !

Certainly MADD is a very good organization, no arguement there. But c’mon, this is thin at best.

I think that MADD is really reaching here on this one, it is a video game, also it is just one very small part of the game, it is more or less for humor value than anything, I for one have the game and think it is funny,

MADD has somewhat of a point, but if it is a stricter rating only. To destroy the title would destroy, and breakdown our natural rights as human beings. Remember, these are not problems created by the game itself, they are problems brought on by poor parenting. Parents need to just shut off the tv, get off their asses, and start beating their kids up if they step out of line. It is the kids who call out for attention that cause the problems. Those kids eventually turn into adults, who struggle because they don’t quite understand right from wrong. This world doesn’t need anymore nazis like MADD to burn our books, and tell us how to live. If you want to take action, look at your own life, Im sure its not as perfect as your daydreams lead you to believe. So stop telling other people what to do, and beat your own kids when they step out of line. For every action there is a consequence, and I don’t think everyone understands that cause they haven’t had it beat into their head.
