Jonathan Lee Riches, an inmate in a medium security prison has sued Rockstar over GTA IV. Reason : The game is a direct threat to his life. God knows how.
He's actually filed a handwritten complaint voicing his um... concerns.
To add to this, GameSpot has found that he has sued both Atari and Activision as well, under similar claims.

Even then, that is not the worst part. This man has unsuccessfully sued Martha Stewart, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, President George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Britney Spears as well, in the past. When will he stop?

Riches, who's incarcerated for wire fraud, wrote in his filing that he seeks a temporary restraining order against the "newest Grand Theft Auto games."

The inmate stated, "Defendants contributed to Plaintiff committing identity theft. Defendant's games show sex, drugs and violence which offends me."

Riches continued, "Defendants put me in prison. I face imminent danger from violent inmates who played Grand Theft Auto who will knock me out and take my gold Jesus cross."

FCI Williamsburg is a medium security prison that is currently home to 1,638 male inmates.

This isn't the first time that Riches has filed a lawsuit from prison. Riches sued suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick last year for "$63,000,000,000 billion dollars," alleging Vick had ties to Al Qaeda. He didn't win. He's also unsuccessfully sued Martha Stuart, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick, President George W. Bush, Steve Jobs and Britney Spears, according to cited entries on Wikipedia.
