It's amazing how short-sited these media folks are. The game isn't rated AO, yes, that's correct. An AO rating means 18+. It's rated M. Oh no! The only difference? M is 17+. Are you telling me that if the game was rated AO it would be okay all of a sudden? "Let's just keep on repeating 'Beating up a prostitute' over and over again until people think it's real." Rockstar has simply put out an entertaining game. It is up to the retailers to make sure it gets put in the right hands. That was a pretty funny video.
