And who appointed you (or Lieberman) to decide for me what is "morally bankrupt" or "detrimental to society" and what isn't?
If you want to take potshots at adult products marketed to kids, Vice City's far from an ideal example. Hell, the main topic of this message board -- pro wrestling -- fits that bill much more closely; I don't see Tommy Vercetti or Lance Vance action figures in the Toys section of my local K-Mart...

If you don't want to buy something don't. If you want to start a group to protest an item go ahead. If your group wants to boycott the stores that sell the item that is your right. But the govt. should not get involved in something that might warp someone else.
