Normally the poll is something like "What's better: Benson or Bobcat?", but today they have an election poll and Kerry is KILLING Bush!!

It's a good thing these Internet polls are so important, or else my excitement would be completely unwarranted!

1. Video gamers rarely like the Republican party.

It works so hard to ban said video games (especially the GTA games).

2. Eh,sorry,

my children just told me about this game.
Could you please tell me: should I be concerned about an 11-year-old to teach me about this?
Is it mean?

3. A Basic Rundown.

Well, I doubt that you'll find anyone who will say that someone who is 11 years old should be playing such a game.

It's a matter of ethics, and I would never allow my child to play a game that is inundated with expletives (the word "fuck" is used liberally in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas), graphic violence (you can shoot or bludgeon strangers and leave them in a pool of blood) and sexual innuendo (you can pick up prostitutes while driving along) - no matter how great the graphics are.

However, the Grand Theft Auto series has made such an impact on the world of gaming (#1 selling game of all time) that anyone who has played a video game in the past five years knows about it.

4. Hell. They sold it to my son (14) and he showed it to his younger

sister. I´m going to change this. Thank you.

5. Glad I could help.

No problem - I can see where you're coming from. I can imagine that I would have loved that game when I was 14; I can also imagine my parents would've had a conniption if they caught me playing something like that, though.

Just so you know we're not all in the business of smut-peddling: I work with video games, and I make absolutely sure that we don't sell "M" rated games to underage customers! You'd be surprised how many kids come in with parents that supervise over and approves of such purchases, though. It's distressing, really.
