GTA IV Causes "Reprehensible" Behavior (Also, Has Rape!)

Glenn Beck, star of the previously posted "Stupidest Anti-GTA Vid You'll See Today", recently had Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson on his CNN show to bemoan the disintegration of the institution of the family. The family, Dobson and Beck agree, is under attack from every direction, from politicians, from MTV and, of course, from Grand Theft Auto IV.

No one blames bloody God of War, or even bloodier Ninja Gaiden 2. It's all about GTA. >:(

The best way to erase your conscious is to devoid yourself of personal responsibility. And thanks to people like them who blame video games, rap music, horror films, heavy metal, diet pepsi etc for the behavior of criminals, they'll always have something else to keep them from registering in their brain that what they've done/are doing is immoral. Yippy.

It be true! Yarrr!
When me nephew(kid) played thar game it happened! Mark my words! The lads character Niko Bellic(yarr!) was attacked(evil) and raped(rape) by horde of black people(racism) who were on cocaine(drugs) and swearing(foul language) like the devil himself(satanism)! And then came people in red(communism) and pink(homophobia) and ended this dumb story(cruelty).

Anyways, it's more or less the same amount of idiocy as in this article.

So what it makes ordinary people speak with an accent so thick you can't cut it with a knife and drive on the road like it was greased with nice amount of butter?

First of all I have to say...I'm not against GTA at all; The game is rated "M" for mature audiences and it was intended to be played by this kind of audiences. But I have an issue with stores selling the games to kids and parents that buy the game for their kids and don't spend time with them to let them know it's just a game and that those rules doesn't apply in real life.

I like the fact that everything is always blamed on the entertainment industry from rape to drugs to why my kid is a dumb as%.Little known facts!

1. Did you know that the same year video games were made RAPE was also developed. Somethng with the game PONG that just made people go crazy and rape the innocent.

2. Did you know that playing the SIMS actually makes you want to hold a family hostage and make them go pee at your will.

3. Did you know that President Bush plays GTA4 thats why were at war rite now. He's totally pis#ed!

4. Did you know that during the development of COD4 they took the tactics of columbine and played off of that for the game play.

These are all stupid conclusions and comments and this is what the damn polititians are trying to get people to beleive. It couldn't be that the government is to busy blaming other people for their f&ck ups. The schools need more money and better facilities (in poor districts not the rich) They need metal detectors, they need the paddle back in schools, they need to be able to bend a kid over at a young age and spank him or her until they realize that stuffing johny in a locker is a bad thing. I guarantee you that the violence would stopp. Bring the kids in off the street and actually help them. Dont just give them a high school education, (they just get one leg up on the drop out) give them two legs let them run instead of hop. Give them college or a tech school paid for in full by the governement. I know they can afford it. We spend aproximately 1.5 billion every two days in Iraq. Stop blaming the entertainment industry for your f%^k ups congressman, and senators. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love what Jon Stewart recently said about this Glenn Beck @sshole: "Wow...this guy...has a show?!"

Glenn beck is nothing more than CNN's answer to Bill O'Reilly, they're both right-wing extremist douchebags that think they know what's best for eveyone.
