Fox News is reporting that Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is planning to pull down the advertising campaign for Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto IV.
Andy Roesgen, anchor of Fox News Chicago, detailed that Chicago had experienced “an especially violent” weekend in which two dozen people were shot. He went on to note that despite this “advertisements for the unaplogetically violent video game Grand Theft Auto” adorned “CTA buses and platforms.”
The Fox report played a 2004 clip of Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich in which he critised the CTA for accepting the $90 000 ad campaign for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. However, by that time the ad campaign was coming to an end anyway.
Fox reported a CTA spokeperson’s comments that CTA president Ron Huberman had said that the advertising campaign will come down.
Head over to Fox’s website for a video clip of the Fox report.
