and while we're at it, shame on you eliot spitzer
According to the NY Times, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, a vocal critic of violent and sexual content in games, was caught on a wiretap arranging to transport a prostitute across state lines to meet him in DC. This is the same man who expressed shock that children can simulate sex with a prostitute in Grand Theft Auto (an M-rated game not intended for children). Gov. Spitzer was more than just an anti-gamer who liked to pick up prostitutes, he also busted protitution rings and made sure the media took note. "In one such case in 2004, Mr. Spitzer spoke with revulsion and anger after announcing the arrest of 16 people for operating a high-end prostitution ring out of Staten Island." Check out the FBI document outlining the case. And as usual, Gamepolitics.com has nicely biting commentary on the incident.
