I was up at the local mall nearby my house at EB Games, simply looking around and seeing what was new. I noticed a kid, maybe my age (Fourteen) gripping a copy of Grand Theft Auto IV tightly with his mother by his side. I watched him stroll up to the counter with his mom, all ready to buy the game. His mom-totally oblivious about the Mature Content rating-quickly placed the large amount of cash on the counter, and the kid gave a wide smile as he was aware he was about to receive the one and only GTA IV.
Suddenly, the cashier snapped the game from his hands and I watched as his smile quickly turned into a frown. The boy watched in horror as the cashier began to speak:
"Are you aware that this game has excessive violence, nudity, sexual content and is not reccommended for users under the age of seventeen?"
The Mother's eyes quickly turned to her son and she began to yell:
"What?! You said this game just had some violence! There is "sexual content"? I don't want anything sexual, that is intolerable!! We will discuss this later!"
Then, grabbing her sons hand she stormed out dragging the boy behind her, in front of the crowd of gamers, and store employees. All I could do is feel relativley sorry for the guy, but what did he expect? Well, that made my day... Discuss.
