There has been this huge flap lately about a little-bitty sex scene in Mass Effect, no more risque than the love scene in Titanic, and this mind you, is in a game rated M for Mature, which most retailers won't sell to people under the age of 17. It's going to be awesome when the intolerant, ignorant, and quick-to-blame older generation's talking heads finally die off.
