Robbers Scared by GTA
HellSpam writes "Some robbers tried to burglarize a poor old lady and her 3 grandsons. Her grandsons happened to be playing Grand Theft Auto:San Andreas, and the sounds of the police from the game scared them away! From the article: "The police in the game were saying, 'Stop, we have you surrounded. This is the police.' The burglar, unknowingly, thought this was the actual police and panicked ... being apprehended by PlayStation." Now, no more saying games are bad for you..."

Aye. Incidentally, I submitted this with a better headline.
That is right, the UK is right because you have to protect the rights of the criminals, they are humans too! The facist Americans allow people to defend their own property like the cavemen they are.
Can't we just put people first? It will never happen in America. We all know George W. Bush invaded Iraq so that oil companies, SUV owners, Rush Limbaugh, and the Jews could oppress liberals. He doesn't care about the criminals either. What an evil man.

Someone who burgles is a burglar. It's that simple, just like someone who warbles is a warbler. Distorting the verb form to "burglarize" is silly: you wouldn't say someone who's a warbler warblerizes, would you?
I wonder how long it'll be until you start calling someone who "burglarizes" a "burglarizer"?

That grammy must have a nice speaker system to fool someone that the cops aren't coming from a small box in the other room.
And a playstation two too, that's one hip grandma.
