I decided to send Resident Asshole, Jack Thompson, an email about the whole situation. I'll be pleasantly surpised if he even bothers to.
Here goes:
No, seriously. Just stop. It's getting old. It's because of tight-assed bastards like you with an attention-starved agenda that our society makes a great deal of fuss over nothing. Hot Coffe isn't even accessible by a vast majority of the population. It takes a hacking device to access it on a console, and a user-created modification to access it on the PC. It's unfinished code that Rockstar never bothered to erase, or probably forgot. This happens with a lot of developers when they finish up. There's bits and pieces of unfinished code that they don't really find a reason to clean up at all. I mean, come on. They're CLOTHED. God forbid we see any NIPPLES like we did at the Super Bowl.
As for Killer 7. Good god, that game is so abstract in its style that I'm amazed that you even targeted it. The only scene close to resembling a sex scene is two fully clothed people kissing each other while one sits on the other's lap. The camera doesn't even cut to their lower halves!
If you REALLY are out to target sex in games, why didn't you target Fable for its completely off-screen sequences a year ago, or Playboy: The Mansion? Or what about God of War? Oh right, you're a hypocrite and wanted something easier to pick on, like say, Grand Theft Auto.

Of course, he's not capable of giving me a rational response to this, and will probably slam me with the usual rhetoric he always gives. At least I'm one of the few gamers to at least not resort to physical threats and horrible typing skills.

I suggest Mr. Thompson quickly suggests banning Microsoft XL for the hidden game that it has in it, which while basic, suggests violence.

Wait, no he wouldn't.
