Maybe two years ago, my sister and I stumbled upon a live press conference of Joe Lieberman and some "parents' groups" about sex and violence in video games. There wasn't much else on, and I'm a heavy computer game player with a distinct dislike of the "games are so violent" grandstanding, so we stayed to watch to see what kind of BS Lieberman would spew. Plus, there was a huge plasma TV next to him, and I figured they'd be showing clips of the offending games, and I figured I'd get a good laugh out of what tame BS they considered shocking (oh, but was I wrong! ;-) )
Well, he finished his little speech, which was like any other, and he proceeded to begin the video segment.
They started with Halo, making me laugh, because that's just like any other army game. But okay.
Next they showed some clips from the M-Rated GTA III, specifically where you can pick up a prostitute, have sex with her, and beat her with a baseball bat. Now I'm thinking, "If I were still seven, I'd be so loving Joe Lieberman for showing me these clips!"
Then it was a clip from "the Guy Game," which I hadn't actually heard of. It's basically like a videogame version of Girls Gone Wild with "real college girls!" and everything, but with some trivia element thrown in. So, right now, I'm watching slightly low-resolution images of naked college girls on C-SPAN, all thanks to Joe Lieberman.
But here's where it went from pathetically embarrassing and hypocritical for Joe Lieberman and approached surrealist art: next up were some scenes from the then-most-recent sequel of "Leisure Suit Larry." Specifically, there's a scene where for some reason you have to dress up like a tree and you have sex with this sorority girl. They're now showing this sex scene, which involves the said animated, naked sorority girl sitting on top of Larry in a tree outfit, really going at it and she's screaming, "FUCK ME, TWIGGY!!!"
NONE OF THAT WAS CENSORED!
Leave it to Holy Joe Lieberman to present on public television that any child could easily see (and, furthermore, which many well-educated parents would want their children to watch) scenes from M-Rated games that involve war, prostitution, murdering those prostitutes, and dressing up like a tree, fucking a sorority girl, who's screaming "FUCK ME!!!" over and over again. :rofl:
