First... I hate Fox news, I hate 'em for referring to the game as a "blood-drenched digital killfest", I hate them for having such bad press ethics that they practically denied to say that to go on a "crime spree" you need to be a little piece of shit fuckwad, probably wrongly raised by their parents, lacking any respect or lightest sense of intelligence.

Second... I hate the motherfucking kids for blaming GTA, this is not new but as long as this stupid shit keeps going i'm gonna keep whining about it, yes I will. YOU make your own decisions, not a virtual character, not rockstar, not Sam Houser, not anybody but your stupid ass.

am madz

I played GTA IV for 9 hours straight now I have the sudden urge to rob a bank, kill 27 citizens and steal a police car oh nooooooo

Mass Effect.

VIDEO GAMES ARE VERY EVIL DID YOU KNOW THAT SATAN PLAYS VIDEO GAMES

On a serious note, anything for ratings.
ANYthing for ratings. They would blame a suicide bombing on Pong if they thought it'd get more people to watch.

Yeah lets all get angry, and show them we mean business. Lets kill them, murder them, go on a rampage... oh wait.

Getting mad is a bad thing now.

Also, If you guys look at the top right screen of the page you'll see the phrase "We report, you decide", well I believe the motherfuckers decided to call the game a blood-drenched digital killfest because I decided to call it a "blood drenched antisocial gorefest", yes if you drive in the sidewalks, like me, it becomes a gorefest and if you spend more than 8 hours playing this awesome game I call it antisocial, suck on that you retrograde conservative pieces of shit, choke on smegma.

Man, I wish some 5 year old kid would have broke it's grandma's legs with a broom and blamed it on viva piÃ±ata, lawl.

My point. Complaining makes the old people suspect we are hostile. They will blame it on video games. Its a vicious cycle we can't beat. Just wait till they all die, and the younger people are in office/news and we will be A-OK!

Wow.

Their lawyers probably told them to use GTA as a scapegoat because a lot of people would eat it right up.

On a side note I wonder how I forgot how horribly frustrating GTA games where, and why I bought 4.

A news company blaming a violent video game for crime? THIS is a first.

The kids are obviously just stupid, but you don't have to be ignorant as your first order of complaint.
If you didn't notice, the article is from the NEW YORK POST.
There is even a logo below the title:

its good to see kids today not spending all their time playing videogames but actually going outside and doing something with their lives

HeinekenClock · June 27, 2008, 04:42:09 PM

Instead of referring to the police as "the police" like any self-respecting news outlet would, they refer to them as "the cops".

New headline in CC news: "FOX NEWS DRAMATICALLY RESORTS TO BAD SLANG AFTER WATCHING TOO MANY HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL 40's MAFIA MOVIES".

Ignorance abound.

But when that happens, we will blame our kids' bad behavior on UpdateClock.

Also, NOWAI! LIBERTY CITY = NEW YORK CITY???!?!??!?!?!?!?!??! Owait, they only call it Liberty City because if kids were dumb enough to "emulate" GTA, there would be someone out there looking around for Niko Belic to slap him some, resulting in many of the foreign citizens being dead because whitie can't tell the difference.

I'm aware it comes from the NY post, what pisses me off is shit like this:

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23933866-38198,00.html?from=public_rss (no "blood drenched" shit, yes, same author, same article, different approach). Much better than Fox News, don't you think?

What FOX news did was take 5 paragraphs and only 2 of these paragraphs tells you what happened, unlike the full story of the NY post where they actually inform of what happened, yes the first paragraph with the "blood drenched" remark is there but the rest of the fucking article focuses on what the hell happened. Fox news just took another article (in all their right) but instead of informing (their supposed function) they give a remark and above that they don't tell you what the fuck happened. Get my point sweetheart?

It's Fox news being Fox news, that's why im posting that link, above the fact that the NY post isn't telling you: We report, you decide.

What could Fox news could've done to not look so shitty? Well, they could have added this paragraph that the other article has:

Police would not say specifically how they knew the teens' crimes were motivated by Grand Theft Auto and not by some other motive. They said they discovered it during their investigation.

Leave it to you to make a one-word difference turn a post into something completely incomprehensible. Ass.

Instead of referring to the police as "the police" like any self-respecting news outlet would, they refer to them as "the cops".

New headline in CC news: "NEW FUCKING YORK POST NEWS DRAMATICALLY RESORTS TO BAD SLANG AFTER WATCHING TOO MANY HORRENDOUSLY AWFUL 40's MAFIA MOVIES".
