July 20, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board changed the ratings on " Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" to "Adults Only" from "Mature". Wal-Mart and Target responded by dropping the hugely succesful video game that was developed by Rockstar Games which is owned by Take-Two Interactive. "Take-Two" is a rough definition of the word "duplicity" which says to have a" hidden meaning". Simply the idea that Take-Two did not know the hidden sexual content couldn't be revealed is preposterous. Users of the software can download Hot Coffee, an application created by modders/fans of software games and get to the sexual content. The only believable defense by Take-Two was if there was no sexual content to be revealed in the first place. No. This whole tempest played according to Take-Two's best marketing hopes. Now lonely, sexual deviants on the cheap will go into a frenzy to find the old version of Grand Theft Auto.The new sanitized version will be restocked by Wal Mart and Target. The whole line will get a new, extended more pronounced presence in the crowded, noisey software game market.
And then there is the moral outrage of Sen Hillary Clinton. If one was to have a testamonial dinner for her true friends, one would only need the space provided by a phone booth. Most of her political and business associates are either dead, served time in jail or still paying off legal bills from their associations with the Clintons. She makes the marketing stunt complete. Even her face was made over by a plastic surgeon when she entered politics- and Bill changed his name from William Blythe.
