Total Male Nudity on New 'Grand Theft Auto IV' Episode

Your comments are all too indicative of a very young, idiotic, "anything goes" kid !!! Many of us find this repulsive, unnecessary to the games, and pornographic, at the VERY least. But, FYI, I don't allow my kids to have ANY video games, either for TV or the hand-held ones. There's too much in this life to see and appreciate, without having your head down, concentrating on a stupid video game.Guess what? They're avid readers and players of board games...with US !!! This trash is why our country (and the world) is going/has gone to hell in a handbasket. Quit letting your kids play these, and then you won't have to worry about the content. Mine know that if I EVER catch them blitzing away their little brains on someone else's, they're grounded for LIFE. (And I mean that). Learn to say "No" to your children. They'll love you more for it.

First off I'm a grown woman so don't try to label me as a kid just because you don't feel the same way I do. I still stand by my statement when it comes to nudity. Theirs nothing wrong with nudity. A nude body is beautiful and that goes for men and women.

Second theirs nothing wrong with video games. Sure you have people taking it too far by playing all day and night but hey if they want to waste their life doing that then it's their choice. As long as their not giving their fellow gamers a bad name (violence towards people) then I'm not going to worry about it. You have your kids reading books and interacting with other kids/ people hey good for them but if you think that once they step out of your house whether their still living there or once they move out that they won't play video games your off your rocker chick.

Oh and third video games is not the reason why the crime rate is high. The reason why it's high is due to lack of discipline and the fact that single parents are so overwhelmed. When your a single parent and you have to do things by yourself it's pretty difficult... especially when that kid(s) has behavioral issues. If a child has both parents involved in their life and they learn that they can't get everything they want and so on then this country will be a bit better.

I'm with you, Tigre. Nudity is the last great taboo--I know for a fact (did a research paper on it) that there's only been 20 or so games which have gotten an Adults-Only rating, and all but a handful of those games got them for containing sex or nudity.

A nude is not, itself, pornographic. It depends on the context.

Oh, by the way. I'm a 22-year-old geology major with a 3.69 GPA, and I'm on the Dean's List, Dean's Honor List, and National Dean's List. I've been playing video games since I was six years old. I've written essays about video games as an art form and as an interactive form of intertainment--wholly different from books and movies in that they require active participation.

To any naysayers, e-mail me or IM me at Scrinnameless@aol.com and I'll be happy to discuss this with you.

I agree with you Tigre. It's not the video games that make the kids start doing stupid things,it's the parents not having the simple time to watch what there kids are doing,and how the act that gets them in trouble. Sure I play video games,hell my mom plays video games as well. And not all games are bad,some actually teach you something(not those stupid educational ones). In today's world some of the smartest people are the ones who play and design video games. How do you think the designers of the video games got to where they are today? By playing video games! If it wasn't for video games our Armed Forces would be pretty much no existent,and basically useless. As time goes on we will rely more and more on computers,and game like devices,and those able to use the will succeed,and those who can't will die off. Some of the best pilots we have in the armed forces started by playing a simple video game,tank operators,also played video games,and practiced on them as well.
As far as nudity goes...don't let your kid play it? Simple as that. They have ratings on the damn games for a reason,if you want to follow the ratings,read the box for say 3 minutes,and you will find out what is on/in it. Or go the restrictive way and just make your child stick with what is supposedly age appropriate.
Sure being able to read is good,and board games are also fun. But who said you can't combine all that with a video game? Doesn't take a moron to figure that out. Shockingly enough in a lot of video games you have to read,so if your hinting at that people who play video games can't read or are "sub standard",then your sadly mistaken.
I don't support gaming all day and all night,however regulation is good,say 4 hours a day,broke up by and hour minimum in between.
It also gives them another option to do when they can't go outside to play because of weather,and they have played every damn board game in the house and are tired of it. Or if they simply DO NOT feel like reading that day. Let kids do what they want to do,but don't give them enough rope to hang themselves is all.

Ann, I'm a 15 year old video game player (particularly of Call of Duty) but I have a 3.75 GPA, made first honors in one of the most elite high schools in Missouri. I read almost every night, I play board games with my parents as well and I play football and tennis. So video games are not the problem.

I think video games do influence some individuals. Every person is different so Alex and Kevin, good for you for not being negatively influenced. BUT... Let's all think about something for a minute. Do any of you ever catch yourself thinking or acting a certain way because of something you saw/heard? I know you do. Think about when you pick up certain characteristics from your friends. All forms of media have influence on people. It's proven. Why do you think billions of dollars are poured into advertising? PEOPLE ARE EASILY INFLUENCED.

TIGRE...you are a repulsive brainless moron. I pray u have no kids.

Tigre

You say you are a woman, but can't spell worth a damn. "Second theirs nothing wrong..." it's there's (as in there is). "As long as their not giving..." - this is they're (they are). Maybe you should play less video games and read more

Tigre, I agree with you.
Ann, if a nude man in a video game that is doing NOTHING sexual is pornography, then washing your children was pornographic? Getting dressed is pornographic, getting a shower is pornographic? I guess you are they type that has sex with your clothes on with the lights out and your husband has NEVER seen you naked. To you, BREAST, PENIS, and VAGINA are bad words and you would rather say boobies, pee pee and woo hoos.
There is NOTHING wrong with the naked human form, but when people like you degrade it down to only being an object used for sexual intercourse, then THAT is where the problems lies.

Well that's very mature calling me a moron when you bring absolutely nothing to the discussion autimommy. If you plan on insulting someone then at least contribute to the discussion instead of typing away and insulting someone from the comfort of your home.

Instead of being a Grammar Nazi Seriously why don't stay on topic. If you have something to say about the subject then say it if not then sthu.

re: Tigre
"A nude body is beautiful and that goes for men and women."

And you're a woman saying this..? HAHA This ho's bi.. Either that or she's trying to cover up the fact that she's a big les.

I'm not a hoe, bisexual, and I'm not a lesbian I'm just comfortable with my sexuality to appreciate a nude female body. Sorry your not comfortable with yours.

Appeared to be about 6 or 7 inches flaccid. Quite humbling. I guess calling him Mr. Stubbs is like nicknaming a fat guy "Tiny"

actually there is a game involving full female nudity (if you download something anyway)....Fallout 3
