Boy that would be a million seller huh? Though it’s not quite an official offer, a man in Gloucester (UK) found some X hidden in the instruction manual for GTA4 that he picked up for his son at a local GameStation. The game was used which means there’s probably some english kid running around his house looking for his “stuff”. But there’s a bit of irony here… just a teenie tiny bit of irony… after the jump
The father is now calling on Gamestation to be more proactive in protecting children from the dangers of drugs, by thoroughly examing every trade in game for potential contraband.
Here’s the kicker, to me. This guy wants to protect his son, who is only 12 years old? Then why in the name of Niko is this fool buying GTA4 for him?
I’m calling on this Dad to be more proactive in looking at what he’s buying his kid to play. Open the box and look through the manual itself. When you get to the part about how to pick up a hooker, pause and think about what it is you’re doing fool.
Geez.

in before lock! oh, wait….
Yeah, some parents just suck at their job. I hope someone actually brings up this point to him.
Well in his defence, playing an 18 rated game, isn’t exactly the same as taking drugs is it. So a dad buying GTA4 for his son (GTA4 not being an illegal substance) is considerably less damaging to the 12 year old than Gamestation giving him E (which is an illegal substance). Anyway, I got GTA3 when I was 12 and continued to get every following GTA game before I turned 18. I think kids are all different, just because some are psychos doesn’t mean all kids would be warped into homicidal maniacs when subjected to 18 rated games or films (which I also watched from a reletively early age). I certainly don’t spend my time plotting the day I’m gonna flip out and go on a shotgun rampage. Although…….
Some English kid is going round his house looking for something. You’re probably right.
Or his Dad. What’s that distant noise that is surely becoming closer???
Oh my word, I think it’s a ROFLCOPTER!!!!!!
Unless they were _selling_ drugs through the GameStation, how does something like this happen EXCEPT for lazy employees and/or lame policies… it’s not like someone slipped a nudie-pic in there… pills aren’t flat. Those guys either put it there or didn’t bother looking. While the level of bad for those two situations isn’t nearly the same, GameStation looks bad either way.
I’m going to start including notes in all the games I sell back right in the instruction manual. I’ll write them on thick corrugated cardboard with a Sharpie. The note will say something like “Email the words ‘No Thanks’ to imgonnakeyyourcar@gmail.com by 5:00pm tomorrow and I won’t key your car.”
Of course that means I’ll need to wear a disguise to sell my games due to those pesky cameras.
I just want people to do their jobs…
one quick thought? how does the dad know it’s an ecstasy pill (it may just be an asprin after all?) saying this i’m 27 and have never acctualy come into contact with an ecstasy pill so i have no idea what one looks like
@ Diablos Black
I believe the police identified it as Ex.
Well, at least it wasn’t crack or heroin.
Shame it werent a big bag of weed, then the kid could of smoked it -An it is easy enough to identify E from an Asprin Diablos . . .
