dwarf Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/2010/07/mock-star-game.html Have a read of that, it's just ridiculous. Update - the newspaper has apologised & details are here: http://tabloid-watch.blogspot.com/2010/07/we-made-no-attempt-to-check-accuracy-of.html It's amazing how most journalists are so eager to lay into videogames, and multiple times their irrational judgements get published without proper research.
Debug Mode Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 We all knew the Daily Star was the news paper for thick cunts any way. But this is absolutely hilarious.
Sheikah Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Parents blame videogames yet buy 18s for their children. So really they never have an argument that these games are influencing children. And that's insane that the Daily Star could ever consider that legit. Oh wait, it's the Daily Star...
Wesley Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 I know newspapers such as the Star are trash... But to not even contact Rockstar...? Also, thinking that the mock-up box-art was real on the basis of... it being on the internet? It's weird that The Daily Star have any money left to run their business, I'm sure they've sent millions of pounds worth of cheques to international lotteries they've won via e-mail.
Goafer Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Anyone notice how the News in "More News Here..." button at the bottom is in "s? Looks a bit suspicious to me.
Jimbob Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 So, the Daily Star continues with its trend of making "No Sense". Keep it up, and perhaps everyone with no brain-cell will believe anything you say.
flameboy Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I don't think this is hilarious its somewhat worrying that people will read this and believe it to be fact. Daily Star apologising and retracting the story doesn't really help as people may have already read or heard about the initial story and made their mind up about the issue without even being aware that its been debunked as untrue...or could event think well theres no smoke without fire!
