Headline should read: Parents Use Video Game as Scape Goat to Excuse Their Own Incompetence

Judge says: "Did the GAME leave the keys lying around?"

Fox news: "Was it GTA, or maybe even have something to do with Muslims? Either of those two will do."

Priest: "Grand Theft Auto 4 is an EEEEVIL game. I mean San Andreas was way better, open world, loads more weapons, practically an RPG."

Jack Thompson says: "Change! Anybody got any change, c'mon help a guy out, I'm unemployed in the worst recession in decades! I'll do ANYTHING!"

Little Kid says: "I want to see some BIG American Titties!"

To drive a car in real life, you have to:

-unlock the car
-open the car door
-get in the car
-close the car door
-place your feet correctly over the pedals
-put the key in the ignition
-start the car
-put on your seat belt
-switch to the correct gear
-and softly hit the acceleration pedal

To drive a car in GTA IV, you have to:

-press "Y" to get in the car
-hold "RT" to go forward

If FOX News thinks GTA IV can teach people how to drive, they are truly idiots of the highest caliber.
This is FOX NEWS we are talking about.... they are the leaders of the high caliber idiots!! they have been against video games since day friggin one! bastards...

Fox of course automatically calls out Grand Theft Auto when they hear it was caused by a videogame, figures because they think all the blame is on that series and they are too full of bs to realise that it was the parents fault for buying their kid mature rated videogames when he is only 7 years old and not able comprehend the consequences of his actions. The ESRB was created so that videogames are played by their designed audience and so this bullcrap doesn't happen. Although I'll admit he wasn't the worst driver I have ever seen.

You should always play any RPG at least twice - and yes, if you make the right calls, he does.
actually i played it thrice. twice as a man and once as a female.

are they going to go bat shit on half-life if a kid beats his brother in the head with a crow bar or super smash bros if a kid knocks his friend off a cliff expecting him to explode in rainbow colors

More important than watching what your kids play is watching that you don't leave the car running with the keys in the ignition. It's not that hard.

This is why video games need to stop branching out into new territory, the more aspects of life rendered in 3d the more things games can be blamed for. I'd love to game company to think "ahh screw it, her's 10-15 years; the game"

Normally my confidence in peoples intelligence is minimal, but in this matter most people seem to be smarter than the media and politicians.

It's interesting that Fox News suggests Grand Theft Auto. I can understand her not knowing what the game actually entails, but, you know, the rating system is there for a reason.

So let me get this straight:
Pressing 2 buttons in a game in order to operate a vehicle makes you...wait let me say it again MAKES YOU ABLE to drive a car which includes getting in the vehicle, getting the key and using it to start the car and knowing how to use the gearbox and the pedals.

How can pressing 2 buttons in GTA in order to drive a car makes you able to do all that is beyond me. Then again, if this is actually true, imagine how simple learning how to drive would be! Just play a bit of GTA and you suddently know how to drive!

But this is no wonder. Fox news is full of bullshit. This is just another piece of shit waiting to get into the pile.

If parents don't want their 7 year old children imitating violent/dangeerous games, don't let them play 18 rated games, simple as
