CNN goes MENTAL over GTA IV

CNN reporter Glenn Beck has gone off the deep end, warning parents on television of the new 'murder celebrator' Grand Theft Auto IV, which he says is "training our kids to be killers." Ban this sick filth!

"Whatever happened to Pong?!" asks a furious Beck, going into afrenzied rantwe thought only existed in GTA's own media-mocking radio shows.

"Here's what you need to know tonight; in Grand Theft Auto your son, husband or boyfriend can hire a prostitute, have sex with her and then beat her to death with a baseball bat.

"When a police officer comes after him, he can either light that police officer on fire or cut him in half with a chainsaw. This is entertainment?!"

The CNN presenter continues: "We are training our kids to be killers and we are training our sons to treat women like whores."

Brilliant ideas there from Glenn, but unfortunately as far as we know there's no chainsaw or flamethrower in GTA IV. We dare not suggest he hasn't played it, though...

Oh, and check outthis radio segmentwithAdam Sessler and Jack Thompson - if you really want to get your blood boiling.
