On a side note, hiya. I don't believe in formal introduction threads, and I've just started reading GP regularly, so I'll be staying around.

Anyway. I started a blog recently and decided to contact Mr. Beam and ask him some thought provoking questions about his GTA bit. I sent this in by reader mail, but I thought the community here would be interested in it. Lo and behold.

One of the more memorable moments, copied for conveniences' sake:

"And yes, I support the 1st Amendment (altho I wonder if GTA is really a form of 'expression,' rather than simply a commercial product) and i assume the "M" rating is a complete joke, as my sons have been playing the game for years."

I wonder if there's some other First Amendment that I don't know about.
