Who knew porn and videogames had so much in common? With one, you have to go to a seedy part of town and go into a backroom to find, while the other you can casually stroll into a Wal-Mart to find a copy.

Harvard’s Susan Linn, co-founder of the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood, the advocacy organization which initiated the call for the removal of the GTA ads, commented:

We are thrilled that the MBTA has been so responsive to community concerns.

We hope that other cities will follow suit.
