The Daily Show Covers Grand Theft Auto IV
April 30, 2008
Leave it to the champions of fake news over at The Daily Show to not only cover yesterday's release of Grand Theft Auto IV, but also tie it to coverage regarding Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's remarks regarding torture and how it's not technically punishment. Let's watch.
I usually don't dwell on mainstream politics and serious news here, but I just have to say how much I admire the creative team behind The Daily Show for being able to take two seemingly separate and unrelated topics and make a relevant point about our mad world by using one to comment on the other. In the end we get something important to think about and a cheap laugh. You can't ask for much more than that while falling asleep at the end of a long day.
