It truly saddens me when I see things like this. As an upper-classmen in my school, I see kids my age or younger running around saying,

"Have you played that GTA San Andreas games? It's really really fun, so funny!"
"You know you can have sex with hookers and then kill them for their money, right?"
"Ya, thats the funnest when the cars all rocking back and forth, they must have poser hydraulics or sumthin'! Word!"
"And your parents let you play this?"
"My uncle bought it for my for my birthday!"

It's the jobs of the parents to make sure their children are not being exposed to content they consider "impure" or "adult". The ESRB is in place for a reason-- and if parents choose to ignore the simple, but effective, guidelines put in place to help them make the decisions on which games are best for the age group of their child. Some adolescents are able to distinguish right from wrong in video game context at a very early age, and are ready to play most mature games in their early teens. Some people in their late teens have a mental imbalance that causes them to commit crimes based on movies and video games. That, and the video game industry is a really convenient scapegoat. If a parent wouldn't take their child to see Sin City, would they buy them Halo 2 or GTA? Probably more likely, which is sad.

We don't need any more laws governing what we can and cannot buy. Maybe GTA (it is after all, a horrible game depicting explicit scenes of mature and socially unacceptable actions which are violent and often demeaning to women. Real women can stick up for themselves, thank you very much) does deserve a AO rating, but in the end, if the parents are too ignorant to pay attention to the convenient ESRB rating in the corner of the box, they've already urinated in the gene pool enough. The damage is done. Get over it.
