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.

wow, thats inspired

XD I can't wait to here what Jack has to say.

Let's see...

1. A guy beating a prostitute to death
2.Someone buying drugs
3. Scene from Superbad

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

That was hilariously awesome :p .

@Sean


i think we have a winner

HILARIOUS!! I love it!

Heh. Awesome.

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

@lothar

Jackpot

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.

beemohMiyamoto seems to have been awardsed something- he was just trending worldwide on Twitter, and all the tweets were in what looked like Spanish.05/23/2012 - 7:07am
Michael ChandraThink so yes, since the judge didn't allow them to add ips at will. :P05/23/2012 - 6:23am
ConsterTPB works fine for me (didn't work the day of the verdict). Apparently they switched IP addresses, meaning Brein has to re-sue to have that added to the block-this list?05/22/2012 - 8:16pm
ZippyDSMleesigh...was playing anice game of empire at war and then boom crash...hope new oparts come soon ><05/22/2012 - 1:17pm
Andrew EisenI still say the particular word or phrase the MPAA uses to describe what it's fighting against is the least of its problems.05/22/2012 - 1:12pm
ZippyDSMleeMPAA finally admits piracy is not the same as stealing, kinda http://tinyurl.com/chtcf8p05/22/2012 - 11:55am
ddrfr33k@EZK Bwahahaha! @Michael: Yeah, several news sources have said that google DNS can bypass the TPB roadblocks.05/22/2012 - 11:38am
Michael ChandraWeird, I can still visit piratebay. Wonder if Google DNS is related to that, or I simply have an exotic ISP?05/22/2012 - 9:03am
Lisa PhamNo harm done, E. Zachary Knight. :)05/22/2012 - 4:50am

E. Zachary KnightAh. Missed that. My mind just connected DDR3 with ddrfr33k and ran with it. Oh well.05/21/2012 - 10:12pm
Lisa PhamHe also mentioned the game "Shadows of the damned" which is on PS305/21/2012 - 8:08pm
E. Zachary Knightddrf33k, I think Zip is referring to computer hardware.05/21/2012 - 7:33pm
ddrfr33k@Zip: Excellent game. It's a trip.05/21/2012 - 7:09pm
Lisa PhamIanC - if you read/looked at the report (PDF and written) then you'd see where they failed and why. Some games have come close to passing and some have passed. The list of games evaluated. http://www.reclaimyourgame.com/content.php/18-RYG-Evaluations05/21/2012 - 5:49pm
Andrew EisenMaybe I'll luck out and the Wii version won't have this retail exclusive DLC nonsense.05/21/2012 - 5:12pm
ZippyDSMleeBought new guitar...trying to find a nice DDR3/mobo combo under 200$ sicne I need new ram thats 100$....fun times..... picked up shadows of the damned tho!!05/21/2012 - 4:56pm
E. Zachary KnightYeah, that's how I feel about retail exclusive DLC too. ;)05/21/2012 - 3:37pm
RedMageThat's what I started to figure too. They seem to have trouble coming up with an effective scare tactic. At one point they referred to it as "online looting" which just sounds stupid.05/21/2012 - 3:34pm
E. Zachary KnightOf all the sucky suckiness that ever sucked. Lego Batman 2 will suffer from sucky retailer exclusive DLC. Suck! http://tinyurl.com/ckq67vg05/21/2012 - 3:30pm
