Well it's interesting. The least favourite man to many Jack Thompson has gone onto bash GTAIV now. He even went to the extreme of sending a letter to the mother of Rockstar Strauss Zelnick. They are expecting more to come from him but so far he's gone to sending letters to everyone.

Hooo boy, haven't had a media overload like this since September aught 7, when Halo 3 buffeted the planet with a seemingly unending parade of puffy quotes and junky merchandise. But where Master Chief toys and Burger King tie-ins surrounded Halo's arrival, idiotic press coverage and city-swallowing murals circle Grand Theft Auto IV before it's even sold one copy.

Take this 10-gallon jug of crazy right here: Jack Thompson, the most arrogantly persistent lawyer in the US and the world's least favorite anything has now descended into an all-new level of GTA bashing. He actually sent a letter to the mother of Rockstar boss Strauss Zelnick. HIS MOTHER.





Thompson's track record is so disruptive to everyday business that he's facing disbarment, so we certainly expect him to spout a bit of nonsense concerning GTA IV. But sending letters to parents? He may be nearing 60 but his actions reek of an attention-starved 6-year-old.



Crazy and FOX News go hand in hand; that's why they're busily scraping for ways to challenge the game before anyone in their offices have even played it. The weekend of April 18-20 saw a wave of brutal shootings in Chicago that killed at least four and wounded close to 30 others. Most outlets reported an excess of guns was to blame - FOX, on a slow, lazy Sunday, pointed out there were GTA IV ads on buses and they're part of the problem. Cue the clueless pedestrians who fulfill the story's blatantly slanted view.

Follow the link above for a video report so biased, discriminatory and devoid of purpose that it comes across as a joke, a satirical segment of the Daily Show shockingly come true. The scariest thing is, they're blaming this stuff with zero knowledge, with nothing to go on at all. They manufactured this story to fill time. What terrors will they conjure up once there's actual gameplay to pick apart?
