NY Post Says GTA Worse Than Molesting
wiredbeat2000 writes "The New York Post has an inflammatory article which argues that Take Two's Grand Theft Auto is worse than child molestation and more harmful than second hand smoke. The story, which appears in the business section, calls for an outright ban of video games it claims are no better than snuff films, and concludes: 'Stay away from this [Take Two] stock - far, far away - and you'll be doing both your wallet and your fellow man a favor'." Lucky the author hasn't checked out Manhunt yet, huh?
Whew! Thank goodness that's still OK.
This is America, damnit. Speak Spanish!
Don't waste your time with videogames. I've seen handguns go for $500 and less. The youth is MUCH more concerned about dancing pixels than the reality outside. Cut your hair, buy a handgun, and welcome to the real world!

Why should I go out and get a handgun when I own two rifles? ...and for the record, Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than those two rifles have.

Why this sudden obsession with being taken seriously? It's all fun and games for us.
Probably, just mad because he can't trade in his "Thiller", "Bad", and "Dangerous" CDs for the GTA double pack.

I heard that rags everywhere (dish, oily, et all) were uniting to be disassociated from the cesspool that is the Post.

I wonder if he even knew about Manhunt... which IS a game based around a Snuff film????? Maybe manhunt 2 will have HIM killed in the begining?

Reading the New York Post is worse than playing GTA.

Totally. This is like the third or fourth "article" on slashdot in the last 6 months or so that's been based upon someone mistaking the NY Post for a "newspaper" and not a dead fish wrapping device. Could we PLEASE get a feature added to slashcode that automatically rejects any submission with a link to nypost.com in it? And calls the submitter names?
