Mr. Halpin, hell, all of us have every right to be pissed.

The Grand Theft Auto series, which has sold 30 million games since its launch in 1997, includes the all-time PlayStation best seller San Andreas. In the new version, an immigrant is dragged into a bloody criminal underworld. The rating warns of "intense violence" and "strong sexual content."

Despite benefits, the study found that kids who played M-rated games were more likely to get into fights, damage property, steal from a store and receive poor grades.

Studies show that "a heavy diet of these games puts kids at risk for aggression" says David Walsh, president of the National Institute on Media and the Family.

Don't you just love that they left out the fact that kids who play no games at all are just as likely to act out? This is pathetic. This is cherry picking information at a Jack Thompson level.
