OK, is this really an issue?

Regarding Grand Theft Auto: Even if you were just to use it as a driving sim, you are driving a stolen car. And if anything happens to that car, you are going to get out and actively go about stealing another one. The story lines of the games tend to follow gangs and organized crime. There is almost nothing you can do in the game that would actually qualify as legal. So yes, I would say the games encourage antisocial behavior as a means to win. They don't always encourage *stupid* antisocial behavior, but they are basically non-linear action games where you have fun playing the role of a criminal in a real life setting. I can see something that parents wouldn't be eager to get their kids.

Regarding Boyz in the Hood: The mature themes aren't suitable for youngsters, but to me this movie did not glorify violence or encourage antisocial behavior. It's a pretty somber, pretty down to earth movie.
