North Miami City Not Happy With GTA: Vice City

from the kill-the-censorship dept.
Censorship Wired and Reuters: Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City", in which players are urged to "kill the Haitians," is still causing controversy. North Miami City, Miami's large Haitian American community, is inching towards passing a law restricting children's access to violent computer games despite legal challenges to similar attempts elsewhere, and charges of censorship. The proposal, which won preliminary approval from the council this week but still has to go through a second vote, would impose a $250 fine on retailers who sell or rent to a minor, without parental approval, a game in which players kill or cause harm "to a human form."
