First they feared Elvis shaking his hips, now video games
April 29, 2008 – 9:43 amLeslie Benzies, President of Rockstar North (developer of GTA) says that some of those who criticise his games are unnerved by progress.
?There is a big fear factor here. It?s the coming of the railways, it?s Elvis shaking his hips. It?s cars going over 25 miles per hour and making people explode,? he said.
The same misplaced moral panic that greeted rock?n?roll as Times Online puts it. Well worth a read.

The old generation will always complain about things they dont understand and fear. “In my day music was something you could enjoy, Elvis on the other hand is SICK”, “In my day we would go camping, TV should be banned”, “In my day, movies were something the family could enjoy, now movies are EVIL”.
