50 Cent really is an idiot. In a recent interview with Reuters the rapper turned actor turned, apparently, video game activist said that parents should buy his mature-rated video game for their kid because buried beneath the over the top violence and drugs is a way for him to make more money. That's not he real excuse, but it makes about as much sense as it.
So Bulletproof is apparently meant for kids, I guess that explains the infant-sized faux bulletproof vest the press kit came with.

And Mr. Thompson aims his blame at Rockstar. :| I swear, if he did try and sue 50 Cent on him trying to get parents to buy the game for their kids, I'd actually be backing him up.
I am so tired of 50 Cent. I hadn't seen the guy for like 6 months when he was first getting big and all I heard was "He was shot in the face tons of times!" The only person shot more in the face than 50 Cent is Jenna Jameson. Case closed.
lol
I dont see whats wrong with 50's comments, he is echoing what we are all saying (albeit with an extra "please by my game" added in) basically pay attention to your kids, parent them, teach them about what they are playing or dont allow them to play it. Would you expect him to say "Please, Kids, I know you are my core consumer base, dont by my shit its too much!?!" Andre Emerson the designer though, he is clearly living out his dream design job at the moment based on his comments. Someone get the 9mm away from that man.
Careful, Emerson is a producer, the most despised and often most clueless member of a design team, the one with the least design vision and his eye firmly on the coin. Take everything he says as nigh on completely hyperbolic while the staff stand behind and make wanker gesticulations behind him secretly.
