Madd (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) wants a stricter rating for “Grand Theft Auto IV”. The company is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to turn “Grand Theft Auto” into an adults only game. The game includes missions where you get to drive drunk. Madd is also calling on the Take Two Interactive and Rockstar games to stop distributing the game. Madd wants this done as in respect to the victims and survivors of drunk driving all over the world.

Rockstar games the creator of the Grand Theft Auto series, respond back defending themselves as any company would do. Rockstar replies back saying that adults are aware of the content of the game and you can’t judge an entire film or a TV show by a single scene, you can’t judge GTA IV by a small aspect of the game.

I’m with Rockstar on this one.

There is drinking and driving everywhere you go in the Entertainment industry. There’s drunk drivers in movies and television shows, it’s everywhere.

Besides, why would Madd atttack GTA IV for the drinking and driving in the game? I think the drinking and driving in the game is a good thing the way I look at it.

I think GTA IV wants to help stop people from drinking and driving. Think about this, you’re playing GTA IV in the drunk driving scenes, you crash into a car and die in the game, and then you think to yourself, “Gee, I better not drink and drive for real so I don’t get myself killed like that”.

Madd should think about that.
