Clinton Would Crack Down on Computer-Generated Cartoon Sex
By Kevin Poulsen EmailDecember 21, 2007 | 3:46:11 PMCategories: Election '08

Hot_coffee_2 Hillary Clinton is still outraged that Rockstar Games left a sexually-themed mini game nestled in its best-selling Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2005.

You'll recall the kafuffle when the deactivated love scene was found buried in the code for the otherwise wholesome car jacking, cop-killing shooter. The unfinished mini-game featured clothed characters simulating sex acts. To access the scene, randy teens had to download and install a special patch developed by a Dutch coder, expending more effort than it takes to find real, human adult content on the web.

That all led some cynics to suspect Clinton of grandstanding when she called a press conference to denounce Rockstar and demand a Federal Trade Commission investigation into San Andreas. The ESRB re-rated the game to AO for "adults only," raising the minimum age of purchase from 17 to 18 years old -- a crucial year in which a teen develops the necessary psychological defenses to resist the Siren song of polygon porn.

But in a response to a questionnaire from the watchdog group Common Sense Media, Clinton reveals today that she still sees the affair as a victory for child safety. She describe her introduction of the doomed Family Entertainment Protection Act as a response to the "illicit" sexual content in San Andreas, and says, as president, she'd support regulation of the gaming industry.

1. But human-generated cartoon sex is still OK? nt

[marmar]

2. For the love of ......

So glad she's on top of those pivotal issues.

3. Who the hell cares what some horny teen somewhere is using

as a jerkoff object? How am I any safer if he has to go search the net or buy a Playboy or something?

For that matter, if all the pedophiles in the country are masturbating to computer-generated porn, stuff made with no harm to minors, aren't we all better off?

4. Probably the French Bill Clinton comic

5. Won't somebody think of the children!?!?

Please save us from crudely animated simulated sex in mature video games!!!11one

6. I am so glad our leaders have their priorities straight

How can anyone possibly be worried about ending the war when we have such pressing issues facing our nation as fully-clothed polygonal figures having sex?

7. Then Hillary Clinton isn't getting my vote.

Argh, I'm really fucking tired of politicians trying to control what we see on TV, what we listen to, all that crap. That is NONE of theirs or anyone's fucking business! :argh:

8. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Unbelievable.

9. Another winner from the Clinton campaign.

Isolating gamers, who are young, (18-36) often liberal, and have a lot of money. Its aslo obnoxious in a time of war, terrorism, and real human sexual exploitation (like human trafficking) to run around doing what appears to be advocation for the rights of fictional pixelated characters.

10. Can you ejaculate in different colors?

11. Depends on what I had for dinner

;)

[Lint Head]

13. Ha!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Is she running for president or mommy?

[bemildred]

14. Thanks goodness she has time for these important issues.

No need to worry about global warming or the Middle East mess when you can spend time obsessing about teenage game players getting a woody.

[Bucky]

15. You laugh in your high and mighty way. But, sir, I've been sexually traumatized by cartoons

Very naughty cartoons. In fact, I'm going to buy some more this weekend.
No doubt these nefarious drawings will traumatize me even further!

[muriel_volestrangler]

16. "the otherwise wholesome car jacking, cop-killing shooter"

says it all, really. She worries more about cartoon sex than cartoon violence.

[Ezlivin]

17. Any way to patch GTA to add Clinton as one of the thugs?

Then the teenagers could really have fun with a cartoon character.

Good, wholesome fun.

[LittleClarkie]

18. Thank goodness. I feel so much safer now.

:eyes:

19. ZOMG IS TEH SEX!!

WE MUST FEAR IT!!!1
