It's buried, and not accessable through normal methods. Without someone hacking the game, you're not going to get at that content. How can the game manufacturer be held liable for that? My gas tank is full of gasoline. If I shot a hole through it, my car would explode. Can I sue Jeep if that

Not a good analogy in my books. Cars need gas to work...the game doesn't need X rated material to run. What if each car manufacturer placed a booby trap in each vehicle that would cause it to explode, but such booby trap was not accessible through normal methods. Could you sue *if* it did go

On her way to become this decade's Tipper - and she does not give a flying f about it, only to appeal to conservatives in her '08 run. I mean, GOD FORBID there is the natural act of love in a game, nevermind that for over 5 years this series encourages you to KILL COPS and saw people in half.

It is NOT X-rated. NO genitals are viewable. No penetration of virtual polygons are at all present. It's nothing that you haven't seen in a movie theater packed with teenagers...or on Nip 'n' Tuck on FX. From: Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com
