Get Rich… by selling M-rated games to kids

In an interview that's sure to provide rich fodder for the would-be game censors of the world, 50 Cent encouraged parents to buy his upcoming M-rated game biopic Bulletproof for their kids with this advice: "Play the game and explain to them what they are playing."

50 (aka Curtis Jackson) has been an innovator not only in the music world, but also in the games space with the first PSP-optimized web site for a major motion picture. His statements, while controversial, were also in line with what many gamers already believe: "I think everyone knows that a game is a game…. The person that's influenced by a video game can be influenced by anything." Those are some wise words there, Fitty.

This follows the removal of billboards promoting his gun-toting flick Get Rich or Die Tryin' in Philadelphia and L.A. following community protests.
