Parental Group Warns Against The Lost And Damned's Full Frontal Nudity
Last week we reported on how the GTA IV expansion pack 'The Lost and Damned' contained, for the first time in GTA history, full frontal nudity. At the time we said at the time that "and we don't doubt there will be some group yelling 'Think of the children!'", well it appears that has happened. Yesterday, Parental group Common Sense Media issued a public warning against The Lost and Damned, stating:
"The Lost and Damned is laden with mature content and should be kept away -- far away -- from children,"
They go on to say;
"It is even more controversial than its predecessors because this game has full frontal male nudity,"
The cutscene was discussed last week is mentioned, however being there is only one occurrence of full frontal nudity in the DLC, they fail to list anymore, which makes the entire warning rather lax. If the game contained numerous occurrence of both male and female full frontal nudity, then yes, perhaps the warning would seem a little more worth-while.
However, the warning aside, the Common Sense Media does say that the game is "a fun ride worth considering", that is as long as you are over the legal age to play the game, and not offended by male genitalia.
