This is getting ridiculous. So ridiculous it's funny.
Now that GTA San Andreas has forced to have its American rating increased to Adults Only following the outcry over the 'Hot Coffee' mod, Jack Thompson (a US Mary Whitehouse-type) is trying to ban The Sims 2.

BAN THIS SICK FILTH! THINK OF THE CHILDREN! PEOPLE ARE BLOWING UP LONDON AND MY CHILD CAN (MAYBE) SEE BLURRED-OUT AREAS WHERE GENITALIA TRADITIONALLY IS!

Jeff Brown, vice president of corporate communications at EA, in response to the accusations, told GameSpot, "This is nonsense. We've reviewed 100 percent of the content. There is no content inappropriate for a teen audience. Players never see a nude sim. If someone with an extreme amount of expertise and time were to remove the pixels, they would see that the sims have no genitals. They appear like Ken and Barbie."
Thompson doesn't buy it. "The sex and the nudity are in the game. That's the point. The blur is an admission that even the 'Ken and Barbie' features should not be displayed. The blur can be disarmed. This is no different than what is in San Andreas, although worse."
