WEASEL NEWS??
animateria \| 11:30 PM on 04.30.2008	7 comments

In GTAIV you will probably hear about WEASEL NEWS.

The sensationalist news broadcast station that is oddly familiar to some thing in real life.

Something...

Hmmm....

Fox News?

I guess it was probably too obvious...

[EDIT]

Okay so some people thought this was too short for a blog.

I thought the over the top sensationalist news broadcast was oddly familiar.

I am not a news watcher as of recent disappointments so I thought it was a parody of news in general.

However, the name WEASEL, had a familiar ring to it. The only broadcast station with a animal name in it is FOX. Hence the connection.

I'm not sure if this is due to the gaming is dangerous bullshit that FOX NEWS created or not, but I found it at the level of FOXTOID. Very relevant and humorous!

I thought anyone who played GTA4 would agree and be amused by it.

Either I was wrong or those two didn't play GTA4.

Well, (censored)! I'm enjoying the WEASEL NEWS as much as I can!
