From Real Life:
I feel like the Cussing Elmo toy needs to be listed, since that actually happened, IIRC.

Warning: In very poor taste and makes light of things that should not be made light of....

How about an Easy Bake Crackpipe or something, where you heat the rock over an old incandescent liggbulb

[ChaoticHarmony]

How about "Shut Up!" the board game? A game where the object is to sit still and be quiet the longest

While I tend to think that age ratings on various pieces of media tend to be too strict (to the point where I'm happy that the UK 12 rating* has been replaced with 12A in cinemas, to give parents more control over what's suitable), I have to agree here that the issue isn't with the game itself.

Now, I have never played a GTA game, but I did love Saint's Row 2, and I've heard the series are very similar. The problem is that, like with many other video games, parents assume that all games are for children.

I have to disagree with this statement, and quite vehemently so. This was the case with the previous generation 100%, there's no denying that. But the current generation of parents(like myself) are much more in tune with the video game market and know quite well which games are appropriate or not for our children, and it's because we grew up playing video game, In my case from the age of 5, in the case of some of my friends that aren't quite so nerdy, not until they were older and games were more mainstream. Even parents who aren't interested in video games themselves are still aware of which ones are appropriate for their kids and which ones aren't. The days of parents who buy games willy-nilly for their children without knowing if they are ok for them are over, or at the least very, very close to it. Heck, even my parents, who were one of those types that just bought games without knowing what was in them, are much more aware nowadays(mostly because they are buying for my kids and thus ask me, but that's still better than what they used to do).

As an aside, I think that the last good GTA was GTA2. Later, the series begun taking itself too seriously.

I agree. Personally I prefer the Postal series by Running With Scissors, as they're more in the spirit of GTA2 than the later GTA games are
