GTA 4 Ads To Be Pulled from Chicago City Buses
by Aaron Linde, Apr 21, 2008 1:50pm PDTAdvertisements for Rockstar North's upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3, X360) will be pulled from city buses despite no explicit or otherwise inappropriate material in the ads, GamePolitics reports.
Chicago's local Fox News affiliate questioned the posting of ads for Grand Theft Auto IV on buses and buildings of the Chicago Transit Authority in the wake of a rash of shooting incidents in the city. Shortly thereafter, CTA president Rob Huberman told Fox News that the ads would be removed.
The ads include no overtly violent, sexual or otherwise graphic materials that would normally prohibit advertisements from running on city buses.
The report notes that GTA ads had been criticized previously in Chicago and other urban areas. In 2004, Governor Rod Blagojevich spoke out against transit ads for Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Two years later, Mayor Thomas Menino of Boston forced the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority to pull ads for GTA Vice City Stories.
Grand Theft Auto IV ships for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on April 29.

Prom Night - violence and terror, some sexual material, underage drinking, and language
88 Minutes - disturbing violent content, brief nudity and language
Street Kings - strong violence and pervasive language
Oh, wait, probably not because movies aren't the current "evil" to attack for any reason whatsoever.

i don't understand how static ads would lead to more shootings, unless of course these gangs have a hard time finding the game. i feel sorry for the guy at gamestop who'll be telling them "you should have pre-ordered". wait, no i don't.
