You'd think the big M for mature (17+ and up) would be a hint. Thats like buying a DVD for your kid and targeting the studio because it was a sex-filled R rated movie. They both have ratings on the boxes, the video games even more so with the ERSB rating on the front. Now, if the kid was 17 then the argument would be much more interesting....

The sad thing is that even though this seems to be a simple case, at least one person is willing to be more prudish than reasonable. The guy who runs my favorite comic book store back home got arrested -and- convicted for selling adult material... to an adult! Apparently selling such things at a comic store in a seperate room you had to be 18+ to enter had a dangerous influence on the kids. The horror! Meanwhile the 7/11 a block down has porno mags on the newstand a few feet away from the comics books.

On a completely different note... I wish -my- grandmother would buy me the new GTA. *sigh*
