WTF of the Day: Pulling GTA IV Ads

This is just ridiculous. Chicago pulls bus ads for Grand Theft Auto IV but meanwhile I'm sure there are ads for just as violent (if not more) movies and television shows up all over the place. This focus on video games being the root of all evil really boggles my mind. Censorship in all forms bothers me, but inconsistent censorship bothers me even more. For instance, Wal Mart won't sell albums that have explicit lyrics, but you can buy all the R and Unrated movies you want. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Walmart also sells SI swimsuit issues. A week or so ago a caller on a local radio show was talking about how her 7-year-old daughter was eye-level with the cover of the most recent one. nothing on but a thong and a bead necklace barely covering the nipples.

She complained to the staff, and they agreed it was inappropriate and removed it, but it was back on the shelf the next day.
