The Wired videogames blog today reposts a poll from whattheyplay.com, a website dedicated to helping parents assess games before they buy them for their children. The results of the poll are not exceptionally surprising. Basically, parents would rather have their children engaging in acts of obscene violence, rather than acts of intimate human contact. Personally, I think there’s something way more disturbing about a vibrating joystick simulating the tactical sensation of a saw going through a human vertebrae than the simulation of, well, it would just be a dildo, right? A simulated dildo. But also, read the whole poll:
More parents are disturbed by TWO MEN KISSING than a GRAPHICALLY SEVERED HUMAN HEAD. Hahahahhaha. I’m really not sure what kind of harm these parents think videogames could possibly do to their children that they haven’t done already through their graphic stupidity.

All those parents are going to HATE that game in which a man and a woman (not married) are having a lot of sex with each other, but are interrupted by two gay men coming in the door and kissing, so the man and the woman graphically saw the gay men’s heads off while screaming the F word.
reading this just makes me want to kiss gabe. and like, maybe play MLB 2k8.

also, F word once = passable, whereas F word more than once = HOLD THE PHONE.

you won’t understand why just yet, but it was really important for me to fail so spectacularly at posting that.
Parents are retarded. I wonder why America has such a teenage pregnancy problem. hmmm…..
I’d really like to see the next God of War gives players the option to passionately kiss a man. Honestly, dudes already did head severings and man-woman sex multiple times, its the only logical way to go to get the kids excited for some eXtreme gaming.
For the record:
Parents are okay with this -
But not this –
