Grandma sues over hidden sex in 'Grand Theft Auto'

Holy fuck Gammy, I mean, the label does say its intended for age 17 and up.

A grandmother upset that she bought the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for her 14-year-old grandson without knowing it contained hidden, sexually explicit scenes filed a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of consumers nationwide.

Florence Cohen, 85, of the Bronx, said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that the game's manufacturer, Rockstar Games, and its parent company, New York-based Take Two Interactive Software Inc., engaged in false, misleading and deceptive practices.

She sought unspecified damages on behalf of herself and all consumers nationwide, saying the company should give up its profits from the game for what amounted to false advertising, consumer deception and unfair business practices.

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives in Washington voted 355-21 for a resolution asking the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the company.

Last week, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., asked the FTC to investigate Rockstar, saying the company had "gamed the ratings system" by concealing sex scenes in the game that can be unlocked by computer programs available on the Internet.
