MADD Against GTA IV
After my previous post today about Grand Theft Auto IV, it did not take long for me to find an organization that is against the sale of GTA IV.
Earlier today, it was brought to my attention that MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) is trying to get GTA IV taken off store shelves due to "drunken driving" being included in the game.
MADD Protests GTA 4 Over Drunk Driving Scene
Below is a video portraying how gamers can drive drunk in GTA IV...
If you'd ask me, trying to ban a game for something as minor as a "public drunkenness" feature is pretty lame. Sure it's MADD's thing to make a stand against it, but to ban a game for something as minor as this is flat out stupid. I have seen the drunk driving feature in this game, and not one bit did it make me want to go out and attempt driving drunk, and I do not think it is that harmful. In addition, the game suggests you should grab a cab ride home, so in playing GTA IV, the gamer is educated that drinking/driving is not a winning combination.
Nonetheless, this article is interesting to say the least and I am very anxious to see if MADD will be able to persuade politicians to possibly ban this game.

That's what I look like when I drive on GTA anyway...
