Satire: GTA IV Activity Book For Kids

April 24, 2008 -

With Grand Theft Auto IV critics claiming that Rockstar's controversial new release will corrupt America's youth, Minusworld is having a bit of fun with a parody feature detailing a GTA IV activity and coloring book for kids.

Given the amount of misinformation bandied about concerning video games (e.g., virtual rape), we wonder whether this satire will eventually find its way into the various claims of how "depraved" GTA is:

They say GTA IV isn't for kids, but there's even a coloring book...

Let me guess, Jack and every antigamer media outlet/politition/watchdog groups/parents org/teacher org/church org in going to think there actually is a 'GTAIV Activity Book For Kids' and turn a deaf ear to everyone else that tells them it's satire.

For something not made by Rockstar, it sure fits the bill for their style of satire. Loved it.

This will only work on those who have a grasp of what satire is.

Simply brilliant. Look for it at your local book burning or Fox News.

Can we please distribute this to the mainstream media? They'll look like complete asses.

If this makes the news then this will be the funniest joke on them. The coloring book that never existed.

@Cheater87 Says:

I understand that he's so ridiculous it's funny at times, but personally I'm tired of hearing from/about him. And frankly, I'm getting sick of people dragging his name into the comments on every post on GP. He may have a habit of sticking his nose where it's not relevant or wanted, but I really do think we should just leave him out of things that don't concern him.

Also, sorry if this seems to be picking on you or singling you out; it's not meant to, but your comment was the last instance of this in a string of several. I'm just tired of reading his name in 2/3 of the comments on every story; I'm interested in the other 1/3, which frequently feature the intelligent discussion that got me hooked on GP in the first place. Sorry for being cranky.

Michael Chandra: So really the guy's own words strike me as "wah! How dare you disagree with me!" behaviour, which is the sort of childish attitude I am unfortunately not surprised by.10/20/2014 - 2:17pm

Michael Chandra: Correct AE, but then again the owner's own words are about "wishes", not about an order. No "we told him not to", but going against his wishes.10/20/2014 - 2:16pm

Matthew Wilson: yup. sadly that has been true for awhile.10/20/2014 - 2:10pm

Andrew Eisen: Michael Chandra - Unless I overlooked it, we haven't seen how the directive to not talk about whatever he wasn't supposed to talk about was phrased so it’s hard to say if it could have been misconstrued as a suggestion or not.10/20/2014 - 12:35pm

Andrew Eisen: Hey, the second to last link is the relevant one! He actually did say "let them suffer." Although, he didn't say it to the other person he was bickering with.10/20/2014 - 12:29pm

Andrew Eisen: Neo_DrKefka - "Attacking"? Interesting choice of words. Also interesting that you quoted something that wasn't actually said. Leaving out a relevant link, are you?10/20/2014 - 11:04am

quiknkold: ugh. I want to know why the hell Mozerella Sticks are 4 dollars at my works cafeteria...are they cooked in Truffle Oil?10/20/2014 - 10:41am

Neo_DrKefka: Anti-Gamergate supporter Robert Caruso attacks female GamerGate supporter by also attacking another cause she support which is the situation happening in Syia “LET SYRIANS SUFFER” https://archive.today/F14zZ https://archive.today/Wpz8S10/20/2014 - 10:18am

Neo_DrKefka: That is correct in an At-Will state you or the employer can part ways at any time. However Florida also has laws on the books about "Wrongful combinations against workers" http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/448.04510/20/2014 - 10:07am

james_fudge: he'd die if he couldn't talk about Wii U :)10/20/2014 - 9:16am

Michael Chandra: By the way, I am not saying Andrew should stop talking about Wii-U. I find it quite nice. :)10/20/2014 - 8:53am

Michael Chandra: 'How dare he ignore my wishes and my advice! I am his boss! I could have ordered him but I should be able to say it's advice rather than ordering him directly!'10/20/2014 - 8:52am

Michael Chandra: If GP goes "EZK, do not talk about X publicly for a week, we're preparing a big article on it" and he still tweets about X, they'd have a legitimate reason to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 8:52am

Michael Chandra: If GP tells Andrew "we'd kinda prefer it if you stopped talking about Wii-U for 1 week" and he'd tweet about it anyway, firing him for it would be idiotic.10/20/2014 - 8:51am

Michael Chandra: Legal right, sure. But that doesn't make it any less pathetic of an excuse.10/20/2014 - 8:50am

ZippyDSMlee: You mean right to fire states.10/20/2014 - 8:50am
