Jack Thompson Compares GTA IV to Polio

Jack Thomson must have been feeling a bit empty within since there wasn’t any controversial game released for a while but now that Grand Theft Auto IV’s out, he’s back with a vengeance attacking not only Rockstar and Take Two but Sony and Microsoft as well for allegedly "making this pornographic game available to minors, and openly so, on their PS3 and Xbox systems". The pornographic part refers to sexual encounters GTA IV’s protagonist Niko Bellic can engage in with prostitutes to gain a health bonus (oh the irony of it all). Once you’re done with your deeds, you have the option of getting your money back by killing her in a multitude of ways. Apparently Jack’s so appalled by the above mentioned stuff he’s actually gone ahead to compare GTA IV to Polio (yes Polio). "Grand Theft Auto IV is the gravest assault upon children in this country since polio. We now have vaccines for that virus... The 'vaccine' that must be administered by the United States government to deal with this virtual virus of violence and sexual depravity is criminal prosecutions of those who have conspired to do this. If you doubt me, look at the aforementioned streaming audio/video. It will make you sick." The Video he refers to is one put out by IGN.com called the "Ladies of Liberty City" that showcases all the above mentioned actions and much more (some NSFW stuff in there). So Will Rockstar once again be sued for millions or will people finally realize that the game is rated ‘M’ for a reason? Via Ars Technica |
