Judge Mathis' GTA-esque game to include prison rape

Popular TV arbiter Judge Mathis is teaming up with a Hollywood filmmaker to create a new open-world shooter called Mathis "Detroit" Street Judge.
"I see this game as a way for young players to be part of the glamorous thug life that is so popular in the hip-hop culture without them actually indulging in the life," said Judge Mathis on his recently revealed foray into the video game space. The game, called Mathis "Detroit" Street Judge (why Detroit is in quotations we're not sure), will place players in the role of a recently released convict known as La-Ron Washington, who must stay out of trouble, or face the justice system. Mathis and co-creator Matty Rich mention in an interview with Yahoo that the game will play similarly to games like GTAIV. The game will supposedly give gamers "the choice between good and bad through in-game video sequences and narration, [and] the Judge will be the source of reason for gamers."
On how the gameplay will coincide with the justice system in the game, Judge Mathis had this to say:
The main difference between our game and Grand Theft Auto is that players will have to deal with the justice system and consequences for their actions. When you go to prison, you gain credibility when you come back on the streets. On the other hand, when you go to prison you can also be raped. So take your chances. We may see young people who make the wrong choice and go to prison and are assaulted repeatedly (in this game).
The game is currently slated for release by the end of the year on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
While I'm sure the good judge means well, I get the feeling that this game is just going to cause a big stink with conservative pundits who are going to crap all over the game's edgy premise. But who knows, maybe Mathis' game will turn out kinda kink... err, cool.

Fox News is shit, or is the shit? I'm guessing you meant the former, but who knows.

I'm not sure how you can't see the difference between that, but if you can't, you shouldn't be commenting on it.

***sarcasm***Ya know I was playing Riddick: Dark Athena today and while I was going off to do one of the tasks in the prison section, a thought popped into my head..., "dam, it sure would be nice if I could tear a little piece of that guys beefy backside off before I go look for this vent tool"........ but to my dismay it wasn't one of the options given, ... damn it!
Yeah, this Judge guy really knows what we as gamers want...
Jesus Christ, this is outta control, first a game on the Iraq war ( which is absolutely unnecessary) and now prison sex.. Why not combine the two and really give these Senators a reason to ban effen games... I wouldn't be surprised if one of those nutbags is behind these tasteless ideas to finally give them a reason to ban adult themed games for good.
