Bloody heck. GTA isn't a violent video game. As with all games, it depends on what the player does. And anyway, I pity the fool who gets the pictures on the TV confused with real life. Shootin' up hookers in a video game doesn't make anyone more likely to murder prostitutes in real life. Why? Because a video game isn't real. And that's the purpose of a video game. If it were real, there would be no point in playing it.
