What a load of [censored], this is the [censored] dumbest [censored] thing I have ever [censored] seen in my entire [censored] life. You can't [censored] pick up [censored] swearing from a [censored] game. It [censored] comes from [censored] movies. I [censored] feel like [censored] punching those [censored] in the [censored] throat.

Really.... Didn't realise the word of 2 children (who shouldnt even have the game) had become news worthy.

the game is rated M, is the parents fault if they got that game, don't blame the game, it has a huge letter "M" on the front of the box, the kids don't have the right to say "it make us swear and violent" because that game wasn't made for kids. Blame the parents who buy the game and the ones who sell the game to the kids.

All the problems in the Uk - underage drinking seems to be a big one atm and the news is wasting its time on this tripe (although, well cooked tripe can be rather tasty). Two people are not representative of anything or anyone. Still, they got on TV so I guess their parents are proud!

amazing how these kids know exactly what these swear words mean. hmmm I wonder who taught them it obviously its not a video game because I have yet to find a video game that defines what each swear words mean and how to use them. How about the parents to be blamed? I guess ratings these days still mean nothing eventhough they are forced to be used on every single video game and movie released today.

12 - its just like movie theaters
in the US if an underage kid gets in to a r rated movie who do you blame the movie theater or the parents of the kids who let them see it?

Idiot a**holes. There are all kinds of dirty movies and dirty rappers and they blame the game... right. There was no profanity before GTA came out. 80s and 70s were pure and nothing bad was going on... in their opinion...

Idiots.

Watching all the sensational documentaries(historical or otherwise) and news about all the evil things in the world on BBC has made me quite cynical about life. I am no more that shocked by ugly events as I was when I was a kid. I wish I can sue BBC for that. I wish I can sue FOX news for being an insult to humanity.
