Read this small snippet:
"For example, Brenda Stanhouse, who bought the game for her 15-year-old son, said in a deposition that she did not know that a player in the game could “stomp to death innocent pedestrians.”
She also did not know that the game included prostitutes, that players could kill policemen or that “a player in the game can kill innocent pedestrians and steal money from them.”
“I’m aware that there is killing in the game,” Ms. Stanhouse said in the deposition. “I wasn’t aware of the stealing.”
Ms. Stanhouse was asked whether she would knowingly buy for her son a game that allowed him to kill police officers.
“Well, I think he does have games with violence,” Ms. Stanhouse said, adding that she would “possibly” buy such a game — though not one that contained sex scenes like those in San Andreas. "

Ok.
Check me here, please.
This woman will buy a game that features:
Death.
Violent death.
Stomping, maiming, killing, garroting, throttling, strangling, running over people with cars, blowing them up, punching them to death, shooting them, etc. etc.
But this lady has problems with the game, not because of the stunningly obvious level of violence, no, because it has sex in it.
Good grief.
