The Sims 2 video game "controversy"

Hello! Due to my 1 week vacation (and other stuff) I have not lived up to the promise of weekly video game "controversy" rants, so I will do one now.

As we probably all know, the Sims and the Sims 2 are games released by EA games, and we can probably all agree that they are the most innocent games of all time.

Jack thompson, "Ace" Attorney.... OBJECTS!!!!!

*OBJECTION*

Jack Thompson states that the Sims 2 brings joy to pedafiles around the world and exposes young teens to nudity.

*END OF OBJECTION*

Yeah, I was thinking "WTF??" when I first read that on his excrutiatingly painful to read website.

He claims that it fulfills the above "OBJECTION" because, if you hack the game, you can remove the pixels around their private parts.

If you hack.

IF you hack the game.

WOW! What a concept! If you hack the game, you'll be able to do something that you normally wouldn't be able to do!

Well then, how does the game expose young teens to nudity if they don't hack the game?

And, if people actually wanted to see naked people in their video games, EA would have put it into the game. But people don't want to, so EA didn't put it into the game. That's why it's a HACK.

Verdict on the Sims 2 case:

Hackers: GUILTY

Sims 2: INNOCENT

Next time I'll be doing a rant about Jack Thompson himself, the villian of video gaming.
