Why a warning about the video game, Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas?
We have learned that explicit pornographic scenarios are
available to players of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The
player directs scenes of explicit sexual activity.
Do kids know about this?
One of the reasons we issued our parental alert is that
we found directions to the pornographic material on popular
teen websites.
What is “Hot Coffee?”
“Hot Coffee” is the name of the pornographic scenes.
In the game, CJ, the lead character, is invited in for “hot
coffee” by women after dates. It is in those scenes
that the player can activate the pornography.
How did the pornography get into the game?
We don’t know the answer to this question yet. Either
the game publisher, Rockstar, programmed the code onto the
disk which was then discovered by avid gamers OR what is
know as a “mod” was created by “modders”
and downloaded over the Internet to be played with the game.
Our computer experts are at work now to answer this question.
What about the rating?
This game was rated “M” (Mature) by the Entertainment
Software Rating Board (ESRB). We always thought the game
deserved an “AO” (Adults Only) for it’s graphic
violence and brutal murders of women. The pornography certainly
means that parents should consider the game “Adults
Only.” If it turns out that the code is on the disk,
then this raises serious questions about the whole ratings
integrity.
What should a parent do?
