If parents are buying GTA for their kids, the ESRB ratings aren't doing much good if they warn parents about sex, but fail to warn adequately about the horrific violence that the player is expected to play-act in the game. In my opinion, no kid should be exposed to the sort of portrayal of violence in this game, whereas every kid should know how sex works. THe ESRB has got it ass-backwards, as ratings commissions usually do. The violence in the game should have already got the game the highest rating - I mean the only thing that I can imagine that would be worse is having a game where the player portrays an out-and-out serial killer or a mass murderer (come to think of it, GTA does demand mass murder - the only thing I can think of that it doesn't demand from the player's character is genocide). The sex is a minor issue in comparison.
