Rockstar Games–known for breaking all sorts of cultural boundaries– has shattered a new one. In a blog post press 
release, the maker of the hit Grand Theft Auto series announced that the prostitutes in the new game will look like democratic presidential candidate Hilary Clinton.
Clinton, who once cited the game as “the cause of World War II”, has long since been an advocate of censoring violent video games. When asked for her comment, she noted: “Being able to kill people in a virtual world is harmful to society. It’s why I spend all of my time in the Senate cleaning up video games instead of improving real life”.
The Rockstar team isn’t just stopping at looks; after intercourse with the hooker, the pseudo-Hilary asks “will you still vote for me?”. Upon being killed, she says with her last breath: “Now I’ll never get to be president!”.
Election analysts speculate that the recent news may help Hilary at the polls with youngsters. “This could be the first chance the younger demographic gets to really connect with her” commented one expert, adding “this could give her some street cred”.
Lemon Snickers was the inspiration for Nintendo’s Wario character, but fails to receive any royalty checks.

This site should be shut-down. You are abusing whatever you think “Freedom of speech” means. More than that, the offended party should sue you for damages on this clear insult. Rockstar does not release press releases via blog posts, as your article suggests. Additionally, you are willingly releasing false information.

Why’d I vote for her when she’s trying to blame other people’s mistakes on games, my hobby?
I think this’ll only damage her credibillity by youngsters who game… but then again, if her name pops up at every news/game-site it might brainwash people into voting for her somehow…

As Unknown said on his way to the book burnings.
Just to be fair though, they should also get some hookers to look like Laura Bush and Ann Coulter.
