Connectict State Senator Gayle Slossberg is on a mission to save our children from the vile clutches of those wretched “video games”. Her crosshairs are aimed directly at the pinnacle of vile and filth, Grand Theft Auto IV, and her righteous crusade to keep children safe from the graphic rape scene has taken her… to… wait, what?

Rape?! There’s no rape scene in GTA IV!

Unfortunately, this little fact hasn’t stopped Senator Slossberg. From the New Haven Advocate:

[Sen. Slossberg] wants confirmation of the rumored rape scene in Grand Theft Auto IV—but she can’t reach that level of the game. The Milford state senator’s never played GTA, but she fears it’s corrupting the youth and thinks a law requiring better warning labels might be the fix. She told the Nose as much at a Capitol press conference last week…

Slossberg hints she’ll… introduce legislation next session calling for clearer labeling of depraved video games like Grand Theft Auto… Slossberg’s a bit unsure of how the warning labels might read: “I mean what would it say? ‘This game will make you a sociopath’?”

Boy, it’s so nice to see our tax dollars at work. What could be next for the dear State Senator from Connecticut? Maybe she’ll introduce legislation requiring hunters to wear one-inch thick kevlar vests to protect them from being impaled on a unicorn’s horn!
