Parents Fear 'Grand Theft Auto' More Than Porn, Beer
The poll asked parents about which behavior 17-year-old kid at a sleepover would concern them most. From over 1600 respondents, 49% chose smoking marijuana, 19% said playing 'Grand Theft Auto', 16% said porn, and only 14% went for beer.
Cheryl K. Olson, co-author of 'Grand Theft Childhood,' believes this is because video games are the most alien to adults out of the options. "Parents we spoke with in focus groups often bemoaned the fact that they didn't know how to use game controls - and felt unequipped to supervise or limit video game play," she says. Of course, parents don't want their children drinking alcohol, but that's a more familiar risk."
We can only imagine how they'd react to their children playing the "Hot Coffee" scene from 'GTA: San Andreas' while enjoying a joint and a Bud. [Source: BetaNews]

Soo... that means about 20% of parents would rather have their kids watching porn, drinking alcohol, and doing drugs. Sounds just about right for poor parenting as well. Correlation? Hmmm....
Games are games. If a kid cant figure that out, we should probably abort his life. If we can abort a life when their 1 month old in a mothers womb, why cant we abort him when he is 9 years too retarded to figure out ITS A GAME?! Talk about missing an opportunity...
