Lol - Grand Theft Auto takes on Fox News
This is a screenshot from the upcoming game Grand Theft Auto IV.



Look at this closeup of the big screen in "Star Junction" (their version of Times Square).

4. You know, they always lampoon conservatives in that game...
Hell, in San Andreas there's a plotline involving an "unnamed" agency of the Government running drugs, and listening to the "radio" in game and everything from the talk radio to the commercials lampoon conservative values. Here's a script from one of the radio commercials in GTAIII:

Man: "I'm a marketing manager who lives in the suburbs and commutes to work
on the highway. I live alone, so of course I needed a car that can
seat 12 and is equipped to drive across arctic tundra...it just
makes me feel better!"
Woman: "The new Maibatsu Monstrosity...mine's bigger!"

6. Oh FUCK that site is hilarious!
Edited on Thu Mar-20-08 10:17 PM by Solon
Government officials address Dark Cerulean 4 threat level:

Officials indicated that liberals in Congress were to blame, and that investigations into warrantless wiretapping were giving comfort to our enemies - so much comfort we might as well give terrorists fleece blankets and let them curl up next to the cozy fireplace that is America and drink chai tea on all of our tax dollars, just like they do in Britain.


:rofl:

ON EDIT: This is even better!

LCPD spokesman on mafia initiative

A spokeman for the LCPD told Weazel News: "Organized crime makes for great headlines and quite frankly, we need one. Right now. So we are going to stamp on it once more. In particular, new criminal organizations who haven't paid us off yet. This is all segueing to a major ramp up in terrorism reporting, to keep everyone frightened before the next election."
