MADD attacks 'Grand Theft Auto IV' - Yahoo! News


LOS ANGELES - Mothers Against Drunk Driving wants a stricter rating on "Grand Theft Auto IV."


The organization is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, the independent organization that assigns video-game ratings, to reclassify "GTA IV" as an Adults Only game. The action-driving game, which includes the ability to drive while intoxicated, is currently rated Mature.
"Drunk driving is not a game, and it is not a joke," MADD said in a statement released Tuesday. "Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable."
MADD is also calling on publisher Take-Two Interactive and developer Rockstar Games to consider stopping distribution of the game — which analysts expect to sell 9 million copies and make over $400 million at launch — "out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving."
In the critically acclaimed open-world game, players have the choice of patronizing a bar and then attempting to drive drunk. While virtually under the influence, the screen becomes blurred and the controls are more difficult to use. Players also have the option of hailing a taxi or walking. The intoxication effects wear off after a few minutes in the game.
"We have a great deal of respect for MADD's mission, but we believe the mature audience for 'Grand Theft Auto IV' is more than sophisticated enough to understand the game's content," Rockstar Games said in a statement to The Associated Press on Wednesday. "For the same reason that you can't judge an entire film or television program by a single scene, you can't judge 'Grand Theft Auto IV' by a small aspect of the game."
"GTA IV" follows the criminal exploits of protagonist Niko Bellic, an imigrant-turned-gangster who travels from Eastern Europe to Liberty City, the game's fictional locale based on New York City. As Bellic, players can hijack cars, earn cash for criminal activities, shoot innocent bystanders and visit strip clubs.
MADD declined to comment further about their statement.
yeah cancel distribution of a multi hundred million dollar game because you can drive drunk in it... never mind the fact that you can car jack people, run people over, shoot innocent bystanders, fuck hookers and kill them afterward, run drugs, kill cops, etc....... drunk driving is over the line


fucking assclowns :bash:
 
You'd think that a government funded program that's been around for ... hey.. like 30 years would have slowed down, prevented or otherwise curtailed drinking and driving by now.

But not MADD. They continue to exist to drain tax payers.
 
Drunk driving is a major problem. Let's forget about how more people die of tobacco related injuries every year, and more gun deaths per day than alcohol related driving accidents. Neglect the whole drug issue too. wtf.
 
When I got my DUI, I was told that I had to go to a meeting where mothers who lost loved ones to drunk drivers would lay their guilt trip on me. I had to pay a fine of several hundred dollars to not go because I felt the govt. has no business performing emotional re-educational mind fucking.

I barely caught the red periods.


And It is. I don't agree with them missing everything else involved in the game. I feel that the game is already labeled and rated at a respectable level.
 
Its a game, wow I can get drunk at a bar and go drive and rape hookers and shoot old ladies with an RPG in this game. Doesnt mean Im going to out and do it in real life. Fucking morons.
 
after 9/11 my flight chief played "flight simulator" and actually crashed a 737 into the twin towers. and that was on a video game too. nobody asked to take that off the shelves.
 
stupid bitches, need something else to complain about Im gonna go join there forum and give them a rash of shit

incase you cant read it heres what I posted

What is wrong with your orginaization you think a video game will cause kids to drink and drive? You actually think you could ban a possible billion dollar game? Stick with what your good at being mothers. If you dont want your kids to have the game then dont buy it for them. Simple as that, this game is rated mature, people dont get aflicked by what they see or do in video games, Personaly you as mothers are what causes alot of people to drink and drive becuse of all the stress and frustation you have inflicked on your children. Its your fault!!!!!! Maybe you should have been better mothers and not let your children out in the middle of the night when you know dam well they were going out to party.

:slap: post in your native language next time, because making a post like causes people to immediately disregard what you're saying because they can't take it seriously. the post unfortunately makes you look bad, instead of your intended result (that they look bad). :mellow:

sheesh. a million dollar idea with a $.03 finish. i bet most people on the forum will just resort to saying that you played too much GTA growing up and you are now retarded.
 
My friend was president of SADD in high school but resigned. When the advisor asked him why he said he didn't want to be a hypocrite anymore. He has since gotten smarter but the look on her face was priceless to say the least.
 
sorry the site didn't have spell checking abilities because you post through a java link, if you think you can post a better one by all means go ahead, there are plenty of madd forums
 
So they don't care if you murder people, get a hooker and then steal your money back, drive by shootings etc... but god forbid you can drunk drive in a video game.

Reminds me of a Doug Stanhope bit about pedophiles. "This guy wants to go after pedophiles on the internet. Why? Let them jack off in their basement apartment, their not touching/fucking the kids. It's the guy in the van doing hot laps around the playground and fly fishing with Smarties that you should worry about."

well, it's not a group that is anti stealing/prostitution/murder. it's about drunk driving. thats what it was started for and thats what they care about.
