Grand Theft Auto

Games People Play Feministing points out that the brand-new, critically-acclaimed 'Grand Theft Auto' video game has lots of strippers and pole dancers in it. You can get a lap dance where the girl puts her crotch in your face. Also! As the trailer shows, you can pick up hookers and kill them immediately after having (explicit) sex with them. "Stay down or I will finish you off!" your character says after gunning down a prostitute. Blogger Samhita writes, "Given the popular nature of GTA, it is cool to be violent and kill prostitutes... Where does this put young women gamers? How do they feel when playing video games with such violent representations of women?" [Feministing, IGN]

7-Year-Old Steals Grandma's SUV For Joyride

Meet Latarian Milton, a 7-year-old South Florida boy who faces grand theft auto charges after he stole his grandma's Dodge Durango for a joyride with a buddy of the same age (who smokes cigarettes) in which he smashed into mailboxes, other cars, and street signs until the front wheels fell off. Why did he do it? "I wanted to do hood rat stuff with my friend." Seriously! Get a load of him and his swagger in the clip above. The best is what Latarian thinks his punishment should be totaling his grandma's car and nearly killing others: "No videos games for an entire weekend." [CNN]
