GTA: San Andreas as after-school special? Maybe that s a stretch, but the game does have its own form of positive message. Buried under all of that violence, gang-banging and hoing is a light anti-drug motif. CJ may bang with the best of them, but he doesn t use drugs or like people who do and at least one radio station DJ is very anti-drug. Too bad they choose anti-drugs instead of anti-violence as their message: I d rather be reading about a group of teens found eating their weight in Twinkies than some angry geek plotting the decimation of his local high school.
