Somebody Gets Killed? Quick, Figure Out What Video Game It's Like!

Ok, so I stole this from Game|Life, but I thought it had some merit so I decided to post it here as well:

So a prostitute was run over by a car, deliberately, in New Zealand. That's sad. What's ridiculous is that everyone is now falling all over themselves trying to find a link to video games.

Another said: "Isn't this scenario the kind of thing that the PlayStation game, Grand Theft Auto, requires of players? Perhaps there is a connection."

"Another" who, you ask? A witness to the crime? The investigating officers? No: some random person who wrote in to the newspaper.

Read the actual piece and you'll find that the "link" in the headline is that a prostitute got run over by a car, and you can run over a prostitute with a car in Grand Theft Auto, according to random people with absolutely no connection to the case whatsoever.

Meanwhile, only after ten paragraphs of this absolute twaddle, are the actual details of the actual crime discussed.

I'm going to go bash my head against the wall now.
