HANOVER, N.H. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful Joseph Lieberman, who led the fight in Congress against excessive sex and violence in the entertainment industry, denounced a top-selling video game on Sunday.



The Connecticut senator called the game, "Grand Theft Auto," "horrendous" and said its maker, New York-based Rockstar Games Inc., ought to be more responsible.


"Video games have gotten better over time," Lieberman said during a women's forum at Dartmouth College sponsored by Lifetime Television. "But there's a couple out there that are horrendous."


"You ought to see one called "Grand Theft Auto," he said. "The player is rewarded for attacking a woman, pushing her to the ground, kicking her repeatedly and then ultimately killing her, shooting her over and over again."


"I call on the entertainment companies -- they've got a right to do that, but they have a responsibility not to do it if we want to raise the next generation of our sons to treat women with respect."


The award-winning video game, which isn't intended for anyone under 17 years of age, has sold more than 10 million copies. Rockstar Games is the publishing division of Take-Two Interactive Software .

LOL!

Interviewer: "So Mr Lieberman have you actually played the game in question?"

Lieberman: "Er... no but that's not the point... I heard from a friend of a friend who's son's friend has the game..."

You'll find that's how the rest of these interviews usually go.


How about he trys hatin' on a game that ain't been out for nearly THREE YEARS. And also, get yer facts straight.

GTA:VC was developed in Scotland by Rockstar North. The New York division handled the scripting & getting Ray Liotta & Burt Reynolds etc for the voice-acting etc

Next he'll be trying to get Basic Instinct banned from theatres.

I also take offence to that on another point.

Anyway, I don't discriminate. All characters regardless of race or sex get attacked, pushed to the ground, kicked repeatedly and then ultimately killed, shooting them over and over again when I'm playing!
