MADD’s Statement Regarding Grand Theft Auto IV
Each year nearly 13,500 people die in ***** driving crashes and another half a million are injured in *******-related traffic crashes. This is why MADD is extremely disappointed by the decision of the manufacturers of the game Grand Theft Auto IV to include a game module where players can drive *****. ***** driving is not a game and it is not a joke. ***** driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable. MADD is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to reclassify Grand Theft Auto IV as an Adults Only game, a step up from the current rating of Mature and for the manufacturer to consider a stop in distribution – if not out of responsibility to society then out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of ***** driving.
