Connecticut Senator Gayle Slossberg (D) recently told The New Haven Advocate that the rape scene in Grand Theft Auto IV, where you earn “points for rape,” is so alarming that she’d like to see a law passed that features better warning labels.
Yeah, of course, there’s no rape scene in GTA IV. But Slossberg appears to be pretty convinced she’d see it, if she could only play well enough to reach that point in the game. Or so she said during a Capitol press conference, according to the Advocate.
The article says she’d like “confirmation” that there is no rape scene in the game. I suppose this is another “write your representative” situation where she could use some (polite) information?

Meet Jeanne Stevens, the Republican nominee for Connecticut’s House of Representatives (101st District). She will not allow Grand Theft Auto IV in her home. That’s OK, she’s also a level 70 Orc hunter in World of Warcraft. As for GTA IV, “If you’d like to play it in your home, go for it.”
