    Looks to me like your just docking up points by posting worthless comments. My favorite is Theory 4, by the way.

    Theory 4: Rockstar and Take-Two had two versions of the title prepared all along, the big japesters: one with lashings of sex and violence, and one with puppies and candy (or whatever). Knowing that the nastier version would instantly get an AO rating, the companies deliberately submitted that version first, creating the mother of all hoo-hahs. Just as the commotion threatened to die down, the less sadistic edition was then sent the ESRB’s way. Hey presto - mountains of hype, and the all-important ‘M’ rating.
