Some mouth-breather is adding his voice to the monotone chorus of uninformed counter-mongering surrounding GTA IV’s ability/inability to transform kids into roaming gangs of thugs.

It’s with bitter amusement that I watch trained professionals who are used to dealing with hardened criminals and dangerous thugs running scared of a videogame. The real concern that should be had in Calgary is why its police department wasted time scaremongering over a game when it could have been dealing with real crime.

Listen here Burger Time, I’m fairly certain the entire force has not been diverted to prodding your rotund face just so, inciting your impassioned/impotent retort in teh blogospherez. Nor does every police officer deal with “hardened criminals and dangerous thugs”.

Let’s face it—people are stupid. And a not-insignificant percentage of those stupid people are so impressionable as to actually be inspired by playing video games or being told by some other retard to smash a cop car. Just because you don’t know dumb fuckers who will allow themselves to be thrown onto light bulbs and hit with fluorescent tubes, jump off a roof or other stupid shit, doesn’t mean there aren’t a million losers out there who will. And the Calgary Police Service clearly know better than you, Jabba.
