Playing GTA On Phone Leads To Bomb Threat?

SteelGator writes "You're playing a relaxing game of Grand Theft Auto with a friend's child. You're also on the phone with a co-worker who's at a restaurant. As a warning to the child, you say "There's a bomb in the building. Everyone needs to get out!" Your co-worker thinks it's a real bomb threat. Uh oh!" While awaiting trial, perhaps this guy could check out a new screenshot from GTA: San Andreas, showing lead character Carl Johnson (extravagant rumors claim to be voiced by 50 Cent?) "outside the Los Santos convention center, which bears more than a passing resemblance to the home of E3."

    It could be worse. He could be charged for murder after using this.

    What about the RC helicopter mission where you set bombs and then get out before they blow?

    Or the place right after you "KILL ALL THE HAITIANS".. you set bombs there and then must get out before they blow (which is tricky because the way you came in is blocked).


    I do not think I would need to be told about bombs if I was the one that planted them.

    In no less than 2 years, games.slashdot will consist of a news post, followed by moderated posts conisting only of the dates of PA comics (we'll be too lazy to link). We'll all laugh, and then distribute karma appropriately.

    Bills of Materials, BOMs, should never be discussed in airports, either.
