Filled with filthy smut

Joy of Tech says what's in my heart.

Apparently Rockstar had created the fine line between pushing the envelope and setting kittens on fire in front of the White House ... at least from some of the reactions out there.

Have you seen Rockstar's statement regarding the mod yet? If Kotaku had it right, I think they may be skirting the edge of the truth.

But on topic, you're absolutely right. It's no news though--Americans react this way to everything. Swordfish had a scene that blows shrapnel through bystanders in slow motion, but it's Halle Berry's topless scene that had reactionaries in a tizzy.

We should seperate out, I think, the potential problem with having the content on the DVD in the first place and then trying to fend off the media/lawsuits/etc.

I've got a closing thought on it, but I'll wait for Jeff's interview to have a day in the sun before posting anything new.
