the strangest YouTube documentary I have seen. It consists of inner city youths, possibly younger than 12, discussing what they do in GTA. In some lights, it fascinates me but in others, it disturbs me. Take it for what you will but you have to admit that these kids have a lot of heart in defending a franchise that, according to the ESRB and jaded child experts worldwide, is something they shouldn't be playing in the first place.

it has been proven that playing violent video games helps satisfy the natural tendency to be violent in a safe environment, and has actually been proven to make you less likely to use it in public. The same has been in the case of horror films and violent films.
