Sheesh

So, an eighty some year old woman (quite old enough to know how to read) ignores that the rating on GTA: San Andreas (a game which I think is awful, so my bias here is not such that I'm going to rave about the game.) is M for Mature, which means 17 and over, and buys it for her 14 year old grandson. Totally within her rights, yeah? Well, so the rating gets bumped up due to this Hot Coffee fiasco and is now AO, Adults Only, intended for 18 and over. And suddenly, it's too awful for him and she has the game taken away from him and is suing Rockstar. I mean seriously -- show a little bit of personal responsibility here. Why are people not able to take responsibility for their own actions, their own choices? Everything is someone else's fault, and we have to sue to eke every cent we can out of whoever we can blame. If you don't like the game, don't buy it. If you don't like the show on TV, don't watch it. And while you're at it, don't buy it for your kids or take a minute to block the show out (most modern TVs can do this sort of thing) or just keep an eye on your kids yourself! (Yeah, I know I'm a little late on this bandwagon, but this one was so off that it even made the compiled Weird News on MSNBC.com, where I finally read it.)
