Yes, everyone is tired of hearing about more write-ups and summaries and even news blips about the whole San
Andreas/Hot Coffee mod, but GameSpot published a very well written article on the absurdity of this whole fiasco.
I have to wholly agree with a lot of what he says – why the fuss for fake-looking sexual positions when God of War
featured the real thing, full frontal nudity and all – not too mention probably more blood and gore than has ever
before been put in a video game. It's a pity that Rockstar is the beacon of all political furors pertaining to video
games. Then again, they seem pretty financially sound.
Though this is old news by now, I thought I would mention the book 'Everything Bad is Good For You: How Today's
Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter.' In the book, Stephen Johnson argues that video games and the
Internet have actually made kids better problem-solvers. As the GameSpot article says, it would take a smart and
determined little kid to unlock the Hot Coffee mod.
