[Audyssey] the negativity of santa claus in accessible games

[Ken the Crazy]

I agree 100%.  I love Grand theft Auto, even though I can't play much of 
it--but does that mean I'm going to go out in the street and kill people 
after I play it?  That's about as likely as me, going out in the street, 
yelling "panzer!" and a tank falling from the sky for me to drive.
