Well, consider that the game gets a Mature rating when there are loads of violence, but an Adults Only rating because of sex. Also look at the outrage over Janet Jackson's nip slip. A lot of parents in this country would rather have their kids watch something very violent than have them see a woman's bare breast.

There's a lot more to sex than just nudity. Everyone gets as close to the line as possible in the media. And no one seems to mind.

There really shouldn't be a problem with nudity in society. Everyone wants to avoid it because it's "dirty" or "nasty" but it's a natural part of life. But with many things, the human mind can take something harmless and twist it into something taboo, such as different fetishes and pushing it to degrees of disturbing content. But other than that, give me the pr0n.

I'm confuse as well. GTA should've start with an AO rated game from the beginning. This is a little funny Joseph liberman Conplain about blood in mortal kombat and parents complain about it as well. yep ESRB' ratings are fucked up Such as M rated and AO rated. It get's an AO rating because of one explicted content: sex. The ESRB needs to fix up their ratings better. Janet Jackson's nip slip was'nt a big deal to me. It is funny that parents rather let their kids watch something very violent than have them see any nudity. So it's okay for kids to beat up hookers with bats says their parents seems like it. And everyone.

I seems like they can beat up the hookers as long as they aren't naked while being beaten.

I think the reason politicians are so worried about it is, that a kid can get a Mature rated game easier than say a porno movie. Most kids can trick their parents into buying a mature rated game,and when most parents think of video games unless they're someone close to our generation they think of pac man and stuff. So the parents just kind of make up the solution of oh how bad could it be. Now let's see a kid try to buy a porno or trick their parents into buying one.
I don't think rockstar should be sued but, I'm also not saying they shouldn't be blamed either.Rockstar said they said they kept it hidden,so it was not intended to be seen that's good enough for me. I don't want games to start coming out with E and T ratings just so companies can avoid controversey.
