“Man stabbed queueing for midnight launch of ultra-violent video game Grand Theft Auto IV”
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=562729&in_page_id=1770
In lighter news a man was stabbed repeatedly while queuing to buy GTA:IV in Croydon: London.
The Daily Mail obviously went with the “man gets stabbed purchasing violent videogame by people who play violent videogames”, throwing flagrant disregard to the fact that essentially all that really happened was a man was out late in Croydon unarmed. Croydon has one of the highest knife crime rates in the whole of Europe, this unlucky bastard would have been stabbed if he was buying any other game.
ANY.
Have you seen Croydon after 11?
But the icing on the grammatical cake for me was this comment, left by ‘Anne’ from ‘London’:
“It was only a matter of time before the ‘latest version’ of this so called ‘game’ prompted yet another senseless attack. ‘How long’ must we be forced to put up with this ‘filth’ before the government finally ’see the light’ and ‘ban’ these things?
- Anne, London”
1# - Randomly placing inverted commas into a piece of text does not make you seem any more intelligent, you ridiculous, shrieking woman.
2#- If we were to take this orgy of tiny floating black erections seriously you have essentially made your own comment redundant.
e.g - ‘latest version’ What are you trying to say? it is the lastest version. Are you suggesting theyve re-released GTA 1? is that what your trying to say Anne? IS IT ANNE? Fuck you anne. I Fucking hate you anne. Thats right, you dont even get a capital letter anymore because you raped grammar. Fuck it, you’re not even getting vowels anymore - g fck yrslf nn!
3# - Ban this filth? I could go on for pages about this, but im going to summarise;
You cock.

I think that’s what he’s saying. At least i hope that what he’s saying.
With something like this you’ve gotta employ a ‘rolling list’ of people you’d be willing to stab in a certain situation. No-one wants to have to stab someone over something that, essentially, isn’t real, but if for example, the apocalypse happened tomorrow, it might help to have a list of people you were morally comfortable stabbing during an apocalypse. And the same in case of a hurricane or really long sunday afternoon, etc etc.
Without setting boundaries it’s just mindless violence.

Well I personaly can relate to Anne. Firstly i jacked a car, slaughterd the man driving it, picked up an easy hooker and got my wicked way with her, took down some peds, and then eventualy got home to slot in Gta into my ps3.

GTAIV provides a welcome relief from real crimes I commit daily.

fucking hillarious i’de like to run over anne with my cavalcade (gta IV) make a full court shot over her body (nba streets 3), drift over her ass (juiced 2), put a sticky grenade on her (halo 3), set an explosive device on a poulie system dropping crates on her (hitman: blood money) my point here, everything is violent, i hate people that complain about shit like that
