Acronyms or no, I’m still positively roaring with laughter on this one, kids. Seriously, if I found this any funnier I’d have an embolism.

The PTC, or the Parents Television Council, recently sent master-level winged monkey Dan Isett, their Director of Public Policy to take on the Arizona Daily Star’s Phil Villarreal in a desperate attempt to help build grass-roots support for having both GTA IV and all of its creators banned from the United States. One of many watchdog groups chiding the massively popular game, the PTC was recently shown to have absolutely no clue whatsoever what they were talking about in terms of Grand Theft Auto Four.

Isett: I’ve actually played ‘Grand Theft Auto IV,’ and it’s right in keeping with previous versions. The series continues to lower the bar and this is the first game that has an alcohol content warning. You get points for driving drunk in this game.

Villarreal: You know that’s not true, right? The game doesn’t have points.

Isett: If nothing else, it’s a rewarded activity. Necessary for advancement.

Villarreal: I don’t think so.

Isett: But there’s an alcohol content warning and a scene of drunk driving, correct?

Villarreal: Yes. Did you play that part?

Isett: No, no. I didn’t get that far…

Based on that excerpt, I just have one bit of advice for the PTC…maybe you should stick to T instead of trying for VG too. Or at least, you know, actually do your research properly and play the video games in question before making up ludicrous lies about them.
