I overheard a conversation between a young man of maybe 10 or 12 asking his mom to buy him GTA: Vice City.
Mom: "Isn't this the game with all the awful stuff in it?"
Kid: "No, that's San Andreas. This is different."
Mom: "Well, ok then."
She never even looked at the goddamn package.
So I turned around and said, "Excuse me, Ma'am, but in that particular game you get the opportunity to own a strip club, hire, beat up, and murder hookers, rob a bank, and generally kill, maim, and cause general destructive mayhem in what is essentially a digital version of 1980's Miami. If that's something you'd like your son to enjoy in his spare time, then be my guest."
And she gave me a dirty look and walked away.
I swear. People.
