Default N.Y. Mayor and Commissioner don't like GTA 4

Well this doesn't come as a suprise.

Like Bully before it, Grand Theft Auto 4 is being picked-apart and condemned long before its release. This time the culprit isn't Jack Thompson; it's New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.

"The mayor does not support any video game where you earn points for injuring or killing police officers," Bloomberg said in a statment.

New York police commissioner Raymond Kelly agrees: "It's despicable to glamorize violence in games like these, regardless of how far-fetched the setting may be," he told the Associate Press.

This is all in spite of the fact that GTA 4:
  • Is set in a fictional city.
  • May not contain any violence at all: No details have been released as far as gameplay mechanics go.
  • Is just a freaking game.
May not contain any violence at all: No details have been released as far as gameplay mechanics go.
Is just a freaking game.
Please, New York City officials, focus on actual problems that happen in the real world instead of imaginary problems in fake videogames. For instances: Please do something about the midwestern tourists who walk around Times Square without a care in the world.

Ever since Guiliani got rid of the junkies and homeless people, bus-tour monkeys from the fly-over states have been walking through formerly terrifying combat zone neighborhoods as if they're at the mall! This has got to stop.

We can't wait to play GTA 4 to put the fear of God in those people...
