Grand Theft Auto 5 promo turns fans into (in-game) cultists

"If you are chosen, your features will be used to create one of the five characters in the game," Rockstar notes in its latest promo.

Wouldn't it be awesome to be a citizen of Grand Theft Auto 5? You could be happily walking down the streets of Los Santos, only to get mugged and run over by a wreckless player. If this sounds thrilling to you, then you'll want to participate in Rockstar's new "casting call."

By going to the Epsilon Program promo site, you'll be able to submit your name and photo to Rockstar. "If you are chosen, your features will be used to create one of the five characters in the game," Rockstar notes in the rules and regulations.

Be warned, however. In the world of San Andreas, Epsilon Program members are cultists, largely parodying Scientologists. So if you get cast as an Epsilon Program member, you are (digitally, at least) joining a cult.
