Sims 2 in the Cross Hairs - "Worse than GTA Hot Coffee"

The people that brought down Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for the cartoon sex mini-game now have their sights on Sims 2 from Electronic Arts. What next Halo 2? Doom? Why is nudity and sex that much worse than violence anyway? I mean there is plenty of nudity on Rated R movies. No?

In a manifesto sent today to press outlets, Thompson focuses on dismantling the Entertainment Software Ratings Board and exposing what he calls the industry's "latest dirty little secret." The secret's out now, and it involves nude sims. In the statement, Thompson says, "Sims 2, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise ... contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair."
