Well, it looks like MADD is at it again to ruin another great gaming release. Once again, it's Grand Theft Auto's newest edition to the franchise that's the subject of ratings critism. In the new blockbuster from Rock Star Games, there is some sort of game module where players can drive drunk. As a result The Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), or the Mothers Acting Decisively Dense, as I like to refer them as, is furious at the inclusion of a drunk driving module in the new Rockstar game, Grand Theft Auto IV! They released this statement on their website. It reads:
----------
Each year nearly 13,500 people die in drunk driving crashes and another half a million are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes. This is why MADD is extremely disappointed by the decision of the manufacturers of the game Grand Theft Auto IV to include a game module where players can drive drunk. Drunk driving is not a game and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable.
----------
They are requesting...no...demanding that the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) re-rate GTA IV as an Adults Only game. Now, get this. Not only do they want the game to be re-rated...but they also want the developers Rockstar GAmes and Take-Two interactive to think about stopping distribution "out of responsibility to society..." It looks like THEY are the drunk ones!
These psycho Mom's need to realise that this is not the 1950s! They throw out the word "Responsibility" so quickly, yet they do not realise that it is the responsibility of PARENTS LIKE THEM to teach their children not to imitate things from a freakin' video game! Just because I'm a big fan of the video game Castlevania doesn't mean I'm going to take off my belt, light it on fire and call it a fire whip!
Get your nose out of video game ratings, women -- and concentrate on what you seem to be lacking - GOOD PARENTING!
Now excuse me, I've got some sh*T! to blow up!!!
