My school has just said that Grand Theft Auto 4 (NSFW) should be banned from campus for this kind of content.

I find myself wondering how long this rule will last. We said no cellphones. Then we said no cellphones except for calling parents. Then we said no cellphones in class or the dining hall. But we have few effective enforcement mechanisms any more. If we send the games back to parents, what’s to prevent parents from sending the games right back?

Update: So, one kid on my dorm bought the game, and I helped him take the game back this morning. The store wouldn’t take it back because it had been opened. And we’re following up on JUST how he managed to buy it without an adult giving him permission. HMM!
