Kill Cubans and Haitians ... please
Yet another controversy has sprung up. And yet again it comes from "the land of the Free" aka "the land were everybody sues everybody". This time it's the ... hold on ... "Haitian American Grassroots Coalition" and the "Haitian American Foundation" (I'm not making this up!) that have grown a grudge against Rockstar Games' highly acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

We've just got to share these hilarious quotes :)
Haitian and Cuban representatives said on Tuesday "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City" incited hate crimes and they were considering taking action, whether legal or in the form of a boycott, against creators Rockstar Games and its retailers.
"The game shouldn't be designed to destroy human life, it shouldn't be designed to destroy an ethnic group," said Jean-Robert Lafortune of the Haitian American Grassroots Coalition.
"They've made money out of the blood and tears of a whole nation," Ringo Cayard, executive director of the Haitian American Foundation, said.
Is this a way to get your organisation in the spotlights now that there is an unspoken cease-fire with Fidel Castro? Do these organisations have lawyers on their payroll that they have to keep busy? Or are these organisations perhaps run by old farts?"The game shouldn't be designed to destroy human life, it shouldn't be designed to destroy an ethnic group," said Jean-Robert Lafortune of the Haitian American Grassroots Coalition.
"They've made money out of the blood and tears of a whole nation," Ringo Cayard, executive director of the Haitian American Foundation, said.
And why don't all gay-foundations protest against those movies where gays are often typecasted as pink and goldwearing fairies with extreme feminine gestures? Do they perhaps realise that movies are ... fiction?
But I guess if you look at it from a positive stance... it shows that the gamesindustry is starting to generate as much silly attention as the Hollywoodindustry.
