GTA Ads Yanked From Portland Mass Transit
Via Kotaku
Following in the footsteps of Boston, Portland's Transit Authority, TriMet, has removed ads for Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto: Vice City citing multiple rider complaints. While Boston's Transit has taken a stance that it will not remove the ads due to contractual issues and First Amendment Rights, Portland has seen fit to remove them all together no matter what the consequences. Trimet stands to lose upwards of $71,000 for broken contracts.
TriMet said it does not accept ads that promote or encourage illegal activity. After a review, the transit agency decided to pull the ads, saying the national agency who purchased the ad space didn't alert them to the game's nature.

Why does all this ad stuff happen in mass transit (subways, buses, etc.)?
You don't need to know my mental status. You probably don't want to, either.
