Lesser of two evils?

Re Hidden Sex Scenes Spark Furor Over Video Game,” July 21

What am I missing? Parents and retailers are outraged that “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” has hidden interactive sex scenes that minors can access? Is there anything socially acceptable or redeeming about auto theft, carjacking, cop killing and bloody mayhem in the unadulterated version?

Are Wal-Mart and Best Buy to be applauded for taking a stand on a product that is clearly over the line to begin with? Am I to conclude that a 17-year-old will somehow be more damaged by having interactive sex than he will by an interactive crime spree?
