CTA Tells GTA GTFO, T2 Says "no u."

A week or so before release there was a number of shootings over a single weekend in Chicago resulting in the death of a couple dozen people. The Chicago Transit Authority responded accordingly by removing ads for Grand Theft Auto IV from their busses, but to their surprise all violence in Chicago did not come to a grinding halt. Publisher Take Two has finally decided to take some action against them, with good reason. The Miami-Dade Transit Authority has also pulled the ads, after a single complaint from soon-to-be-disbarred Jack Thompson. The ads themselves are fairly tame, from what I've seen they simply show the characters and the title, and if that drives someone to violence you've got bigger problems in your town to deal with. Here's hoping they come out on top.

Somebody really needs to hurry up and invent a new medium to become the next enemy of the old and the ignorant.
