American Hypocrisy: Is Love Worse than Violence?

Grant Theft Auto (GTA) is an extremely violent computer game. Its makers have earned millions of dollars through the game that allows the player to shoot bad guys and ordinary people alike and rewards other illegal behavior.

The LA government now is suing the game pulishers because of hidden sex scenes in the game. Los Angeles-based City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo "wants the company to surrender the approximately $10 million in profits, and is demanding a $2,500 fine for each untrue or misleading statement the company purportedly made about the game. The unkindest cut - Delgadillo wants the company to stop marketing the game to children." (Techtree.com) The game's rating was already changed from "Mature 17+" to "Adults Only 18+," after the sex scenes were revealed and a re-rated version without the explicit content was released.

So the sex scenes make this game "adult only"? Is violence less harmful to children than sex? Does normal sexual behavior (as shown here) really harm children more than the bloody violence?
