"The first thing you need to do if you’re going to lead a protest is come up with a list of demands that are: A) somehow related to what you are protesting B) not outrageously moronic.

Apparently, someone forgot to tell the idiotically named Peaceholics about those rules. The group plan to protest Rockstar’s upcoming video game Bully next week, giving them a list of demands that seem more fitting as a lame joke then something meant to spur serious discussion."

Peaceoholics List of Demands for Rock Star Games

# Not to release Bully under any circumstances
# Volunteer to sell its violent and sexually explicit games in adult video stores only.
# Let parents return Grand Theft Auto for a full refund until they do a national awareness campaign to educate parents of content and possible effects.
# Create a fund for victims of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and car-jackings, etc.
# Make a national apology for misleading and lying to children, parents, and legislators about their intentions and causing insurance premiums to sky rocket.
# Give a written response within five business days of receipt of these demands.

I don't see why video games are any more complicated of an issue than movies.

Some movies are for kids, some are for adults. Some video games are for kids, some are for adults. They're all labeled accordingly. If a kid gets ahold of a movie for adults, no one blames the movie studio. Why are games treated any differently?

Its the same thing with Cassette tapes and CD-Rs. Both record other media but suddenly CD-R's are the problem.

Same goes for Digital Camera's vs Camera Phones. One is banned from most places the other is not.
