Hillary Clinton Wants FTC to Investigate Rockstar

Adjust text size:



It seems that ESRB investigating the Hot Coffee mod from GTA San Andreas is not enough for the Americans, and now Rockstar might be the subject of FTC (Federal Trade Commission) control.

According to GameSpot, Senator Hillary Clinton will call on the Federal Trade Commission to launch an inquiry into
the "Hot Coffee" mod.

Clinton, a vociferous critic of violence in the media, will be joined by David Walsh, president and founder of the National Institute on Media and the Family; Mary Bissell, fellow at the New America Foundation; and Kiersten Stewart, director of public policy for the Family Violence Prevention Fund.

The Senator is expected to call on the FTC to determine who is responsible for the Hot Coffee mod, a modification that unlocks sexually explicit minigames in Rockstar's recently published PC version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

While the game is rated M, and therefore not readily sold to those below the age of 17, the mod is easily available online.
