Sims 2 worse than San Andreas? it is according to JackThompson
Miami attorney Jack Thompson does not like you or your video games. Coming off his recent public throttling of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Jack Thompson has the Sims 2 in his sights next. Claiming that the fuzzing out of the dirty bits in the game can be undone and if undone they show full blown people parts. Not true says EA, they cliam you'll see Barbie and Ken parts, flat plastic nothingness. If you see Senior Thompson in public, don't offer him anything to drink unless you're stocked full of crazy.
EA, holla back!
Don't stop the crazy now, Thompson go!
Knowing that the game is popular among all ages, EA has even taken steps to ensure that Sims fans aren't exposed to indecent depictions. In the recent expansion pack, The Sims 2 University, gamers can send their teenage sims off to college. However, instead of packing the expansion with "keggers" and "reefer," EA chose to use juice and bubble blowers.
Thompson doesn't seem to care. He cites a cheat code that can remove the blur that covers the nether regions. "The nudity placed there by the publisher/maker, Electronic Arts, is accessed by the use of a simple code that removes what is called 'the blur' which obscures the genital areas. In other words, the game was released to the public by the manufacturer knowing that the full frontal nudity was resident on the game and would be accessed by use of a simple code widely provided on the Internet."
EA, holla back!
Jeff Brown, vice president of corporate communications at EA, in response to the accusations, told GameSpot, "This is nonsense. We've reviewed 100 percent of the content. There is no content inappropriate for a teen audience. Players never see a nude sim. If someone with an extreme amount of expertise and time were to remove the pixels, they would see that the sims have no genitals. They appear like Ken and Barbie."
Don't stop the crazy now, Thompson go!
The sex and the nudity are in the game. That's the point. The blur is an admission that even the 'Ken and Barbie' features should not be displayed. The blur can be disarmed. This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse.
