    "thank you adam finally someone actually pointing out the real reason for parents and mokey BS R-TARDS it parents responsibilty whether a child gets a game like GTA 4 and it not the games FAULT its tha parents fault BE A BETTER PARENT.......i mean for god,s sake there,a A rating system for a reason

    the fact that the game has a M rateing say,s nothing to parents maybe some parents think that the rateing sytem is there to LOOK PRETTY ..well its not

    it there for a actuall reason i mean GAMES THAT GET A M RATEING ARE FOR ADULTS NOT A FREKEN 8 YEAR OLD .....sexual content, blood violence ,partial nudity ,drugs and alchool ,strong langauge stuff like this for M rated games are on the back of the box FOR A GOD MOTHER FREAKEN REASON
    and yet pepole like AssJack Thompson or parents who are aparently blind of the E.S.R.B RATEING SYSTEM STILL BLAME VIDEO GAMES BACAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO ADMIT THIER THE PROBLEM NOT THAT GAME,S IT,S THIER FAULT...simple as that"

    "this is so good....Adam was so dominant...outstanding work my friend....J Thompson sounds as crazy as the people on the right-wing radio station in the game...it's funny how parodies seem over the top in games, but then you see what goes on in real life and the parodies seem so right on....if JT wants to rail against the sickest and most depraved simulations imaginable, he just needs to open a history book and try to reconcile in his mind how such things could have POSSIBLY happened without being able to blame video games for them????? Oh yeah....maybe one has NOTHING to do with the other...the worst thing here is that these "moralists" who act so superior are the least open-minded and most hateful people on earth, so the chance of them actually listening is nil....there's just simply and entire generation of people that need their life cycle to come to an end so that the collective thought process in this matter can evolve, just as Darwin would have it."

    "For the love of god, thank you Adam so much for pointing out the ESRB Rating system! People are just not understanding something thats simple and on the BOX ITSELF for the matter lol games have been getting all sorts of negitive comments on games lately and large majority of the time its from people that have never even played the games, Like Mass Effect and the so called sex scenes or or Austrailia complaining Bully (Yes Bully for people who have played it know what im talking about) is to violent and crap, its ridculous lol the matter is you cant replace personal responsibility as a parent to prevent these things from getting into childrens hands.. but like Adam said, kids get into these things all the time, he'll I did few things and people around the world have done stuff like that when they were kids too.. so come on people and wake up already!"

    "I listened to the npr clip yesterday and one the funnier things this Thompson tard said is his likeness is IN THE GAME....being killed of course. I had the pleasure of playing through that mission today and though his claim was unfounded...I did enjoy imagining his face on the character I blew away :)"
