The irony of banning GTA due to sex

Inside Firefox:
"Gamestop has decided to stop stocking Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Probably because parents might buy this game for their kids, and it has (shock) sex in it now accessible via a difficult to apply mod (on the PS2 at least). I guess using a prostitute, killing her and taking the money back, massacring pedestrians and stealing things is fine family fun, but consensual sex isn't? For shame, Gamestop. You try and act like you're above this, but instead you show how unenlightened you actually are."
I just read this at InsideFirefox linked to above. I agree completely and think this "hot coffee" mod thing is going a little too far. Although I'm sure the british 18 certificate adequately covers this.
