Grand Theft Auto IV gets a ban in Thailand
Bad news. Just recently, South-East Asian video game publisher and distributor, New Era Interactive Media, has told retailers to pull Grand Theft Auto IV from all store shelves in Thailand. This is following a recent incident regarding a 18 year old teenager, who confessed to murdering a cab driver.
Thai newspapers say the teenager, whose name has been withheld, was arrested while trying to steer a cab backwards out of a Bangkok street with the driver still in the back seat.
Police claim the 18-year-old confessed to stealing the taxi and said he killed the 54-year-old driver after he fought back. The teenager could face the death penalty if he is found guilty.
Apparently, he had confessed to commiting “Grand Theft Auto”, in an attempt to discover if it was in fact as easy to rob a taxi in real life as in the game video games. Insanely, he had also killed off the taxi driver after the taxi driver tried to fight back. What a bad idea to blame Grand Theft Auto IV!

I’ve spent a lot of time drifting around asia working in schools recently & I have one contribution to make. It’s a very different place & Kids spend so much time being grown ups that they don’t learn a perception of responsibility. What I mean is that even much older people still act like stupid kids because they never have a real childhood. Many kids study ten hours a day, every day until they are about nineteen! It makes this story all the more plausable

Well, I couldn’t agree more with you. I’m still a student myself, and I still see all around me, childish bunch of teenagers and adults too. It’s something I can’t really stand.
And, this people have a mind not mature enough, they blame a video game for such a huge mistake.
Thanks for your comments, though, Dave.
