Kotaku reported about those a few days ago.

There's also a gigantic wall mural painted in Brooklyn of Niko.

OMG that is awesome!

lol that would probably give joke thompson a fucking heart attack!

[...] wrote an interesting post today onHere’s a quick excerptJack Thompson, Fox News and the Chicago Transit Authority want to ban bus ads for Grand Theft Auto IV. But these multi-story ads adorn the graceful Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles and, somehow, the republic still stands… Via: Xbox 360 Fanboy [...]

If I owned buildings in the future I would do the same thing for a major GTA game.

I could just see Jack Thompson outside of the building rallying about them having the images for children.

That...
Is the most badass thing I've ever seen.
We should definitely drape one of these over Jack's lawn and see the fun unfold.

Now THAT's what I call advertising.

The guy on the far right was holding a gun, now holding money.

Lol

Take that and shove it up your ass Jacko!

Damn... o_o

I hope JT shits himself to death seeing this! Fudge the bus ads, this is epic. And those are some of the coolest ads I have ever seen. The only thing that would top this is broadcasting this on the clouds, that would rock.

Hehe.

It almost makes me want to play GTAIV,but alas,I don't care much for the game.

Also ,if the building owner allowed it there's not shit anyone can do as it isn't public property

You can't really see it, but it you blow up the picture, you can see JT with a pair of scissors trying to cut them down. Man has the heart of lion and the brain of a pea.....

That... is... fucking... awesome.

TTPDBJT. Take Two Pwned Dat Biotch Jack Thompson. It's not great, but I'll take it.

That is just... wow... so totally freaking awesome.

We all know the message though; It's a big old fuck you to Jacko

Hey!!!! Let's not stop there!

Maybe one day we can have GTA ads beamed directly into our head.

Sure, they might us brain tumors the size of footballs.
But won't it totally kick ass?

Viva la revolution de los jugadores! (Long live the gaming revolution!)

@Chaplain99

Yeah, me neither. Now MGS4, that would be a no question situation. :)

Wow. Now that is an epic sight to see!

Best wallpaper ever!

Kinda reminds me of the trick you had to do for the movie studio in vice city, beaming the ad onto the side of a building with a searchlight.

When jack finally snaps & tries the jump off a building suicide route, we should try to catch him in one of those banners. It'll finally solve the question of whether jack's hate for GTA is stronger than the power of gravity, he may end up suspended in mid air...

Perhaps LA and New York are moral cesspools beyond hope of redemption. (I hear there are even homosexualists living there...)

Jacko.

F*ck you.

And that sound, ladies and gents is Mr Thompson shitting himself

TT should have a billboard constructed outside JTs home, to;

a)Piss him off
b)Instant-controversy and word of mouth publicity
c)PISS HIM OFF

That is so increadable Awesome

I could see Jack Thompson trying to get into contact with the owner of the building and threaten to take action even though the owner has every right to post that.

Why do I feel like that's the advertising version of "Bite me!"?

:D

AHAHAHAHAHAHA XD ! Sometimes the things that Rockstar does gets on my nerves a bit, but this, this is just brilliant XD .

Lets paint Jacko's lawn with a GTA VI add...that would be the next best thing imo -_^

wow i want those.......

Otaku,
Heh, oh behave. :D

Now, what would be funny is if a neighbor of his pulled out two flags an hung them up on their porch:
A US Flag
A flag with the same GTA IV ad as on that Flordia bus stop in a prior article.

Now THAT would be hilarious!

hey any one that is lucky enough to live in one of the cities these are being posted......can you gab a hi-res pic of these for a background? i would love to have the LA one as a wall paper. sometihng in 1680*1050 would be awesome.......

f***ing awesome.
im in for the hi res pic too

I ran across a blog post that illustrates just how ignorant and stupid the people who are upset about the GTA4 ads really are: http://boesky.blogspot.com/2008/04/advertising-wrong-kind-of-special.htm...

In it the poster shows some ads for the Sopranos that ran on busses and one that I had forgotten about that had an arm hanging out of the trunk of taxis with a Sopranos bumper sticker next to it.

If Sopranos can advertise by trying to make people -- including *gasp* children! -- that there is a dead person in a trunk then I think that GTA4 can have ads up on buses and at bus stops.

WIN!

Kick ass!

Now THAT'S the First Ammendment in action :D

Man oh man. Every time I see it I can only admire how gorgeous the art for GTA4 is.

Let it be known that this has to be the biggest corporate bitch-slap of all time!!!

The greatest ad of all time. Not even the Shadowman grave could beat this.

[...] The actual link: There’s a new documentary film for gamers, this time taking a look at the world, as in, real-world, lives of MMO players. The film is called, Second Skin. Let the new digital and celluloid record bare witness to the underground world of cyber-sexing and poop-socking! Former Take2 exec/CEO, Ryan Brant is back in power once more, this time with a new start-up game company, known as GreenScreen Interactive. Since the Chicago Trans-Authority banned the recent bus adverts after severe pressure from Fox News and Jack-y-boy Thompson, it seems almost as if Take2 is raising the stakes with the newly witnessed full building adverts in LA and NY for GTAIV. Also of note, Jack-y-boy’s recent comments and erm, thoughts, if the term can be used on the Florida based bus-stop poster adverts for GTAIV as well, which very specifically included absolutely zero questionable material in both the visual and copy portions of the promotional material. According to Ubisoft’s CEO, they are looking positively to a possible big-name merger in the very near future, and in the interim are on a large scale hiring spree, boosted by very positive sales of their products in 2007 to current. Ubisoft could see as many as 900 additional and newly hired staff members. [...]
