NY Post says GTA worse than child molestation

http://www.nypost.com/seven/12292003/business/14640.htm

Slashdot reports

Quote:

"The New York Post has an inflammatory article which argues that Take Two's Grand Theft Auto is worse than child molestation and more harmful than second hand smoke. The story, which appears in the business section, calls for an outright ban of video games it claims are no better than snuff films, and concludes: 'Stay away from this [Take Two] stock - far, far away - and you'll be doing both your wallet and your fellow man a favor'." Lucky the author hasn't checked out Manhunt yet, huh?

Are they actually saying that they'd rather have their own flesh and blood raped than play GTA?

thats retarted to the max!

This report is prob to bring game stocks lower, which in turn can lead to game consoles to lower their prices which will cause profits to go back up again :)

maybe it's trickery

Its no trickery. Its NY media librealism. I dont like what they are doing here. I'd MUCH rather have children play this than be raped!

I thinks that second hand smoke has killed more and caused more cancer than this game has. Fuck the NY Post. That is illresponsible reporting/editorializing.

It amazes me that people actually still listen to the media about video and computer games...

That's just plain absurd and completely uncalled for. That angers me very much so. :mad:

And this is why I have not given mass media any respect in some time.
I mean, that is just stupidity at its finest. More of the folow the masses type acting, then any real thought going into it.

The NY Post is not something to even consider respecting.

So they are advocating child rape really as a legitimate form of recreation.

Pass the lube...

Only Bilbo... :rolleyes:

Well, NY Post got the readings they were assured of when printing that article. Stupid people(the writers and the person that actually ok'd the article).
