Grand Theft Hypocrites

First things first... The Lil' Puddle plays video games with a vengeance, but we don't play many video games in The Whirlpool. There haven't been any decent games since "Pong" and "Pac Man". So, we really don't a have a dog in this fight. But....

We couldn't help notice the incredible irony in this latest flap over Grand Theft Auto. It seems that a bunch of folk are getting their knickers in a knot because some ingenious hackers have figured out a way to hit the right buttons or download the right code and you can watch some boobies and some boinkin'. This has outraged some Wrong Wing groups.

The irony is that GTA is one of the most violent games out there. It has incident after incident of shooting police, running over pedestrians and generally causing havoc everywhere. This doesn't seem to bother the Wrong Wing as much as catching a peak at some unintended tits and/or luvin'. Go figure.

Isn't it equally ironic that when faced with the outrageous, corrupt, illegal, and national security threatening behaviors in the Bush Regime, we hear these same Wrong Wing Whackos, suggesting it's not so bad because of Bill Clinton?

Clinton was getting knob jobs in the Oval Office and didn't want his wife (and the American people) to find out. This is more outrageous to these people than the criminal, treasonous behavior in the Bush Regime, evidently because Dubya talks to God and he's willing to push for a Constitutional Amendment banning "ferbiddin luv"!

Grand Theft Auto Violence vs. Grand Theft Auto Sex...
Clinton Blow Jobs and lying vs. Bush the Younger's Iraq War, Plamegate leak, tax breaks for the wealthy, world class deficits, loss of jobs, world status decline.

Neither dichotomy makes sense.
