Default guy goes "gta" in calgary

Can't believe there isn't a thread on this. Did you guys here about the carjackings yesterday? apparently several cars were jacked at gun point and was spread out over the city and the ordeal lasted 2 hours.

and witnesses said he fired a couple shots in the air and then put the gun to a womans head and stole her car. He also may have had hostages in a car with him.

If this was the late 90s/early 2000s we would already have news reports and official press releases from "Concerned family" organizations blaming the Grand Theft Auto series/other video games, and violence on TV and in movies for all the troubles of the world.

Why?

The article makes no mention of any motive or reasoning.

I was in line at Tim Hortons yesterday and overheard 2 cops talking about this. I thought they were talking about another city....like Detroit.

In other news, I see the Sunshine girl has crossed the trans-gender boundaries today

Well, he hijacked a car and they do that in GTA so video games are obviously the motive behind these attacks.

Heh. Definitely not. I guess I am going to have to use green text more...

I thought that my comments were too outrageous to be taken seriously. I am sure that the media will play up the video game connection though.

Ha - that's Traci from TNA Wrestling. I knew her back when she was training in Toronto and recovering from her first, more reasonable boob job. She used to look a lot better. Interesting tattoo down below...
