U.K. Not Scared Of Vice City Stories

While U.S. cities are pulling Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories ads from their public transportation systems, other countries seem to have no problem with it. In the U.K., where Bully was made to change it's name and Rule of Rose's release was canceled due to media outcry, GTA is apparently A-OK. So ok, in fact, that instead of the regular on bus posters, they have decided to plaster the GTA:VCS ad on to the entire back of a bus.

Ok, kids, just so you know, bullying is wrong! Being mean to other children and torturing them is wrong! But hey, would you mind going over there and jacking that car? Don't forget to kill the driver! Oh, and while your at it, go have sex with that hooker.

The US is incredibly contradictory with their crap. You can't advertise violent video games, but judges can let pedophiles go free after 3 months of good behavior in prison. Hmmm..... Don't know what's worse, ads for a gory/violent game or a child predator that is free to go after subjecting 7 children to incredibly gross and very disgusting acts.

Seems like we have our (as a country) values backwards sometimes (all the time).

The USA has its fair share of hypocrisy when it comes to this stuff also and I guess we are not alone.

It could also be seeds planted intentionally by the game developers to stir controversy as controversy almost always increases sales.
