50 Cent Explains Bloody Video Games OK For Kids

This is definitely more fuel to feed Jack Thompson?s fire. Rapper 50 Cent, In an interview with Reuters, recently expressed his opinion that parents should not neglect to buy a game ?just because it is rated mature.? Naturally this is because his upcoming multi-platformer title 50 Cent: Bulletproof has been rated Mature.

To further his cause, he thinks parents should ?play the game and explain to them [your children] what they are playing.” His 9 year old son quotes ?I think everyone knows that a game is a game. There’s the part where you actually press start on the controller — after that you are playing a game.?

So let me get this right 50 Cent, you want our parents to explain to us that we are stealing cars in Grand Theft Auto, or would it be better for our parents to show their children how we?re evading the cops to finish a mission? One could argue that a parent might play Grand Theft Auto to show their children what not to do.

Lastly he notes a ?person that?s influenced by a video game can be influenced by anything.? Which he strikes a good point, but then why would parents need to explain to them what they are playing?

All in all, we know why you?re saying what you are 50 Cent: you want your game to sell. I?m telling you to watch out for Jack Thompson because I don?t think he?ll quite understand.
