This is dumb. I think this episode tries to make a point that doesn't exist. That violence in video games = violence being committed in real life. I have played GTAI-IV and all of Rock-stars games. Not once have they been so glib as to promote by saying "you can still kill cops and hookers!" It's an open world game and GTAIV has one of the richest stories in any medium in recent memory, not just video games. It's something you could compare to Goodfellas, or any of Martin Scorsese's films. Is there actually a game where you can use a cat as a silencer? Yes, is there a movie where you can watch someone thrown into a pit of medical needles? Yes, which is easier to get your hand on? Saw 2 of course. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who has played Postal 2. This episode of SVU shows the age of the writers of SVU. Please don't make an episode unless you are willing to be fair and balanced on the topic. Love SVU! Watching the whole series from newest to oldest on netflix.... on my Xbox360, Ironic no? This episode just left me feeling violated... maybe I should call Liv? or Eliot.

((BTW this wasn't even a sex crime. Why was SVU on it past the point of finding out the sperm was just there because she was a prostitute?))
