It's strange that parents will often stop kids getting a hold of adult movies but when it comes to a game they say "oh well it's only a game".
It does seem like Rockstar go out of their way with each new release to cause a storm in the press, and I think in many ways they cause the whole industry to be tarred with the same brush.
I remember reading in an article a long time ago about the early days of Microprose that the original "Silent Service" was too real a ww2 experience for German Youth and as such it was banned from sale in regular stores and only available in sex shops! how times change.
