[In a statement the group said: "We wholeheartedly encourage citizens to vote with their dollars by refusing to purchase products which encourage the denigration and destruction of prostitutes."]

It's a GAME. Can't they just realise it?

Who cares? My guess is that anyone who are offended by a game in which you can kill prostitutes probably wouldn't have bought a GTA game anyway.

Thanks gods they don't know about New Reno.

Yeah, then they would have a field day with the sueing and the like...

But seriously who does give a shit?? As was mentioned before, no one who took offence to this game or the content within it just plain old wouldn't have bought the game, let alone let themselves even play it.

I own GTA SA and have played it fairly thoroughly, and there is nothing in there that doesn't surprise me. Most of the shit in this game is portrayed in movies, and have less of an impact on people...

These prostitutes just need to relax, its a FUCKING GAME

I don't think any prostitute jumped up and decided the game is of the devil.

Smells like someone took a prostitute, put her in front of a tv screen and showed her how evil the game is for portraying the possibility of beating prostitutes up after having sex with them (and paying them).

Or a rather shallow one read an article about it and decided it's evil.

It reeks of third-party FUD.

Fuck, I mean there is shit like that in plenty of games. Not like beating prostitutes, but general bashing random people and running them over. Most of this does come from the GTA games, but its all crap...

All games have some sense of things that happen in real life, and if given to a person who finds the issue offensive, the same thing can occur...

Europe and Middle east have the Muhammed (dunno the spelling) cartoons, USA has GTA:SA. All that's missing is for China to start fighting with Japan over something. Oh wait, isn't Japan already pissed off by Chinese actress playing Japanese geisha in a [recent] movie? Not sure at all, only heard somewhere, someone else can verify/deny this.

I have no idea about this, but check out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397535/

The actresses name seems to be Japanese, but I have no idea what the name is, so this may help...
