The Sun Gnashes Teeth over GTA’s Locked Mock Pedophile Site

UK newspaper The Sun is trying their best to drum up some British outrage over Grand Theft Auto IV’s inclusion of a child pageant site on the game’s faux internet.

In GTA IV a little exploration at the game’s cyber cafe yields LacySurprisePageant.com, when you visit the site a message pops up that it has been shut down by the game’s police and that your IP address has been “catalogued” for possible future investigation. A visit also instantly maxes out your wanted level.

When I first noticed this, while playing through the game, I had a pretty good laugh, but at least one South Wales man was offended. And you know what they say: One person pissed off equals a story in The Sun.
