"the character can have sex with prostitutes, visit adult clubs, request a private lap dance and drive drunk."

Um... okay... Is that a new feature in GTA IV?

Anyway, a Maitland, Florida-based mutual fund group which offers a “biblical choice when it comes to investing,” has slammed GTA IV with a press release.
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games referring to itself as "the purveyors of video gaming pleasure," has done it again, releasing another video game that contains extreme sexual and violent content. Take-Two, is anticipating $400 million in sales in just one week with its anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto IV tomorrow, April 29th. The Entertainment Software Rating Board ("ESRB") rates this game an "M" for "Mature," appropriate for ages 17 and up. Retailers are not required to enforce these ratings when making sales.

Beyond the intense violence, blood and mayhem, during the game the character can have sex with prostitutes, visit adult clubs, request a private lap dance and drive drunk.

    I'm disappointed about such news. I mean come on, you'll never see them online and you'll never be able to teabag them after you shove them into traffic. =/ end of the world scenario right there.

    First the mutual fund groups, next the morally opposed, then the religious figureheads all walking out and leaving us with less options for torture.

      The "religious figureheads" almost struck recently, didn't they? I'm sure there was some news over here at GameGrep itself about religious leaders attacking games or something.
