Police regarding GTA

Yesterday I was in GameStop (ewwww) picking up Ni No Kuni and Mugen Souls (both new! I swear!) and there was a police officer standing there, watching an advertisement for Grand Theft Auto V.  Much to the initial chagrin of my wife, I decided to ask him a question: "I've never heard an officer's view on the Grand Theft Auto games, may I ask yours?"

A rather displeased expression passed over his face as he thought hard for a moment. "I'm really more of a Saint's Row guy. I don't care for the GTA games too much. Although it's kind of nice to be able to go home and do all the things I'd like to do to people out there."

We barely contained the uproarious laughter until we got outside. Awesome.

Well that's the skinny: America isn't playing too many violent video games, they're just not always playing the right ones.
