Oh shit.
@BBC Was Basil Brush busy? What exactly is this random, made up bollocks?

For those of you that don’t know: today, BBC Two launched the broadcast of The Gamechangers, a movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and and Bill Paxton that takes a look at the controversy surrounding Grand Theft Auto and violent video games in the early 2000’s. Sounds like a cool concept, no? Except Rockstar isn’t really on board with it — in fact, they’re suing the BBC over the movie, and have gone on record saying that they had nothing to do with its creation.
Which leads us to this tweet. Basil Brush is a character from British children’s television, in case you didn’t know. It’s basically Rockstar going “u wot m8?”
The responses to this Tweet are pretty amusing, too:

Boom Boom!
Biased Views of Violent Games and THINK OF THE CHILDREN – The Movie.
Nice burn Rockstar!
Dammit Radcliffe. You should know better.
If nothing else, maybe this’ll result in a new GTA London, just so Rockstar can have a BBC parody to blow up.
That’s a lot of backslapping for something that wasn’t that funny.
Standard internet fare ;o
Yeah, true… I guess I’m too old to join in the reindeer games. The new usage of “salty” makes me wonder about the absence of sodium everytime I see it, after all
Gold!
I don’t really understand why they’re so annoyed..?
EDIT: Ohhhhhhhhh right, they actually used Grand Theft Auto, I thought they were making some kind of parody
Do I have to see the movie to understand this or am I ignorant to something incredibly obvious..?
Right? They should have made a Sooty reference; everyone loves that guy.
