It's obvious it's just a publicity stunt. GTA SA teaches you to kill people? Unreal Tournament 2004 lets you play Insta-Gib matches with one shot kills to improve your aim. And when you kill 4 or 5 in a short interval, the in-game commentator pumps you up even more by shouting "M-M-M-Mooonster KILL". But there's no comparison, what with the mainstream popularity of the GTA series.
Re: The nudity in San Andreas. That code was obviously scrapped to avoid an AO rating. As Humphrey said, most game shops don't carry AO titles as standard policy. AO ratings are usually only for games that have explicit sex or nudity, the violence doesn't really factor in. I mean if a WWII shooter like Call of Duty or Medal of Honor can get a Teen rating by not including blood, despite the intense violence in the games, you can tell that it's difficult for any game with blood in it to achieve the level of violence required for an AO rating. This is also confirmed by the fact that you need to be 18 to buy an AO game, and 17 to buy a mature game. It doesn't really make much of a difference, except in shelf space in game stores.
