Sigh.

And that's fvcking disgusting.


I noticed this, too.

The sad thing is that GTA is designed for adults (17+). Kids aren't supposed to be able to buy these games. Yet the marketing manager references that many of the same "tweens" that might be interested in this game might also have an interest in this new drink. So I think the logic is dangerous and irresponsible. I can't personally see the connection of "bloody zit" and GTA...but the company product manager does. Should these types of companies be trying to target the "underaged" GTA crowd while at the same time we are trying to pass laws against selling the game to that very audience??

BTW, nothing against GTA, its a damn entertaining game. And if you want your 10 year old to play it, fine. But this type of marketing logic scares me. Just like trying to use cartoon characters to sell cigarettes.

LOL, I remember Mac's Milk! Do they still call it Mac's Milk, with that Fritz the Cat logo? I used to buy my Coffee Crisp and homo milk in bags there all the time.
