I normally don't get involved with threads like this, but I couldn't resist commenting on the ethics of what WalMart chooses to sell and not sell.

Did you know that any kid can walk into any WalMart and for $7.38 (in most places) purchase a copy of the movie "Platoon" on DVD on which they can watch a scene where actors Kevin Dillon ("Bunny") and Charlie Sheen ("Taylor") basically torture a paraplegic, mentally challenged Vietnamese child by shooting at his foot and making him "dance" as well as a scene where a group of soldiers are caught gang raping a Vietnamese girl that is obviously meant to appear under the age of 18?

(BTW, much of the ammunition used in the Columbine massacre was also purchased at Walmart).

But, Walmart won't sell a video game with a "mature content" warning on it because there is a possibility that there are a couple of kids out there that may or may not be smart enough to hack professionally manufactured and copyright protected software and apply an internet download (also a hack not released by the manufacturer) that shows simulated intercourse between 2 digitized characters without displaying genitalia?

I'm certainly not a tree hugger or looking to take long walks in a park with Michael Moore, but .... as a parent, I think WalMart sucks!
