Rolling Stone revealed this week an important piece of pop culture news. On Barack Obama’s iPod resides the likes of Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Jay-Z and Yo-Yo Ma. Other media reports suggested that John McCain’s tastes leaned toward Frank Sinatra and Rosemary Clooney, until, that is he learned that all Clooneys were liberals.
Those secret sex scenes unlocked with a downloadable software key in the game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, have not caused much stir after all, and the voracious attorneys hoping to drill up law suits are disappointed. The New York Times reported that the lawyers asked for more than $1.3 million in fees for filing class action litigation against Rockstar Games, creators of the Grand Theft series of games. However of all the 21.5 million copies sold only 2,676 claims were filed.
Observers speculated that many could simply not find the sex scenes after unlocking them, while others were sufficiently distracted by all the killing and maiming around them that the secret sex scenes simply didn’t make an impression, as they were fairly tame by dweeb standards.
