[BC] Re: Illegal doesn mean anything anymore!!!!

[Jerry Mathis]

Jay Leno had an interesting (and correct) comment last night. He said that 
the video game "Grand Theft Auto was being pulled off many stores' shelves 
because it has HIDDEN sex scenes in it. They are pulling it because it has 
SEX, and NOT because it (blatantly) shows stealing, drug dealing, murder, 
and cop-killing? Where are our priorities?
