Yeah, the game has a ton of unethical stuff, and this may be just one more thing. I think its a bit of an over reaction though. I’m a long time gaming fan.

First, littlelacysurprisepageant has been featured in San Andreas over radio commercials; and in these commercials it merely says its a lingerie pageant. Un-ethical? Sure. But promoting child porngraphy? Nah. And as you said, the game punishes you for going to the site; which has absolutely no obscene material on it and at no time even mentions pornography or even children for that matter.

Since the website is actually not a pornographic site, but a child beauty pageant site, it becomes a statement that can be interpreted as: 1. The government is wrong for not wanting us to access these sites which are not pornography. 2. The Patriot Act is not ethical, not only can I not access the website, the government is tracking me trying to get to this site, porn or not, and punishing me for it. 3. The government makes mistakes. 4. The site was a child porn site and GTA4 promotes child porn (Although only a small percent would actually come to this conclusion) It's funny how the moment this is found, people automatically think the worst. Really, it's just more of an attack on the Patriot Act then a push for child pornography. Imagine, you go to this little lacy surprise pageant, and you will never know what that site is. It "could" be a child porn site, it "could" be a beauty pageant site for a little girl in Texas, but we don't know that. All we care about is that we accessed this site with no intent on looking at child porn or even child porn on our minds, and it's a blocked site...and one more thing, you have a 5 star rating. So all of Liberty City is after you, and you don't even know why. You accessed a censored site and now you have Big Brother chasing you.
