Grand Theft Auto IV "Stealing More than Cars"

Over 10 Million copies Projected to Sell

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, referring to itself as "the purveyors of video gaming pleasure", has done it again, releasing another Grand Theft Auto IV, a video game containing extreme sexual and violent content.

Take-Two, is anticipating $400 million in sales in its first week since the April 29 release of the video. That is far greater than virtually any full feature motion picture releases!

The Entertainment Software Rating Board ("ESRB") rates this game an "M" for "Mature", appropriate for ages 17 and up. But retailers are not required to enforce these ratings when making sales.

Beyond the intense violence, blood and mayhem, during the game the character can drive drunk, have sex with prostitutes, visit adult clubs, and even request a private lap dance! Clearly, this horrific game is stealing more than virtual cars-it's robbing virtue from the minds of our youth and filling them with images and ideas likely to come home to roost.

Besides many socially conservative groups outraged at the vile new game, even mainstream organizations including The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American Psychiatric Association all agree that there is a detrimental effect of violent media on a growing mind.

Conducting Talk Show interviews on the outrageous video games, is Arthur Ally, founder and president of The Timothy Plan, a morally responsible family of mutual funds that refuses to invest in companies like Take-Two Interactive because of their involvement in the anti-family entertainment and pornography industry.

Arthur Ally said, "This $30 billion a year entertainment business is exploiting sex and violence more than ever in their products. We hope more parents will not continue to fall into a category that four out of ten often do by relying simply on the ESRB rating and leave their children alone while they are playing video games."

All shares with your audience that although the new games are allegedly not intended for anyone under 18, many 'unintended' children will no doubt find a way to obtain Grand Theft Auto IV. http://www.whattheyplay.com/features/no-parents-allowed-grand-theft-auto-iv/

Mr. Ally refers to the Rockstar game, Bully: Scholarship Education which was released in March, revolving around a mischievous schoolboy including several scenes where the main character describes other boys as "hot" and himself as a "totally awesome kisser" after kissing other boys. Bully currently has an ESRB "Teen" rating, appropriate for ages 13 and up. When Art Ally is a interviewed or is a guest on your show, your audience will discover how they can incorporate an entirely new element into their investment decisions. They will learn how to discern between companies that make business decisions rooted in a value system that aligns with theirs and those that don't.
