The clip on that link I provided has footage of The Guy Game including fully uncensored toplessness... given the quality of the feed it's not the best picture ever, but that's not the point. That game does have nudity. So does LSL:MCL, at least if you have the uncensored version...
Lieberman at least hates the movie and tv business just about as much as he does the gaming one... he goes too far, but there is a point that something must be done to protect children.
Most parents try, but it's hard and I'm sure that pressure from their children is quite influential... and games don't seem as bad as some other things (in the video the guy says that to answer a question to a parent about what to do with their child's demands for GTA was to ask her if she'd get the kid porn if he asked for it... she said no of course and he said 'so do the same with violent games'... the example may be extreme (in most cases), but the point is good -- just don't get your children M-rated games. That's why the two most important things here are stricter rules in the stores (and education of the clerks on the issues) and parent education... they try both of those, but the impact is only partially successful. I expect that in the future as there are more parents familiar with games it'll become easier however...
Quote:I think online porn effects a young boys brain more then even a sexed up video game because the most extreme in a video game is probaily softcore. A kid can just stay up late at night if he has cable tv and will see porn there too.

Quote:Very true, the internet is free [since the parents pay for it] and a game like Leisure Sui Larry [which probably isn't that great anyway] costs about $50.
I've said it before, but if parents would take more active roles in their kids life we probably wouldn't be having problems like these. It's the breakdown of the family unit and kids having terrible home lives that is causing this just as much [if not more so] than anything else.
