What could they possibly be rating, other that homophobia? “This Book Contains a Muppet Bearing Sharp Teeth”?

I had similar thoughts about GTA (GTA3+) before I had played the game. But when I finally did try it it actually contains very little of that horribly offensive content (no more than a rapper’s music video at least). Instead it’s probably one of the most well-written computer games out there (that’s probably not saying much).
Of course I guess its problem is combining wacky violent gameplay with less wacky violent writing.
