He'll never read this, but...

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.

Sent my own letter saying basically the same thing. I mean..Killer 7? The one scene in question isn't even that long. "Oh no! People kissing! It'll hurt our children!" I mean come on, if Killer 7 gets an AO for that scene Eyes Wide Shut should be rated X, and Lord of the Rings should be rated NC-17.

Yeah, I was thinking about something along those lines earlier. Both M-rated games and R-Rated movies are meant for 17 and higher, and BOTH have loads of gratituous violence. R-rated movies also have some pretty raunchy scenes, yet get away with it. If an M-rated game tries it, god forbid. The hypocricy nauseates me.

For reference to the unfinished code type stuff. Back in 1997 or so, Tiger Woods Golf contained fragments on it's disk that when put on the PC could be viewed as a movie of a Kenny-esque character being "Brutally murdered." This caused alot of outrage but was quickly swept up under the rug. Theres a pretty good example of stuff escaping a development house and making it's way on the disk. There was no REAL way to access it outside from putting it into the computer, and the developers just left it in there. Why? Because developers ALWAYS leave extra code in their games. It's just never used.

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

If he had any idea as to just how much code was in a game, he'd stop bitching.

Wait, no he wouldn't.

Send him through the game development program at my college guarentee he'd be found dead in a week from all the code you stare it 24/7 just to make something like pong.

It's no wonder what was left over of Hot Coffee made it through development.
