PRESS | MADD Over Drunk Driving in GTA4
GamePolitics.com has posted a statement from MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) who are upset with the virtual drunk driving that was included in GTA4 (Grand Theft Auto). They are calling for ESRB to re-rate the popular game as Adults Only (well good luck with that). No seriously, drunk driving is a very serious issue, but since Carmageddon didn’t produce a generation of road-raging-serial-killers, it’s hard to imagine that kids will take on the role of Nico. It’s all good, clean sober (most of the time) fun.
Each year nearly 13,500 people die in drunk driving crashes and another half a million are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes. This is why MADD is extremely disappointed by the decision of the manufacturers of the game Grand Theft Auto IV to include a game module where players have to drive drunk.
Drunk driving is not a game and it is not a joke. Drunk driving is a choice, a violent crime and it is also 100 percent preventable. MADD is calling on the Entertainment Software Ratings Board to reclassify Grand Theft Auto IV as an Adults Only game, a step up from the current rating of Mature and for the manufacturer to consider a stop in distribution – if not out of responsibility to society then out of respect for the millions of victims/survivors of drunk driving.

PRESS | Bolwell’s New Nagari Revealed
Bolwell Car Company has revealed the fully finished beauty of its new Nagari sports car.
A single frontal image reveals sleek, low-slung lines with generous glass areas and classic mid-engined sports car styling.
The faired-in, four-headlight front end echoes the legendary McLaren F1, while other elements capture the spirit of the best Italian mid-engined exotics.
As intended by its creator Campbell Bolwell, the styling also pays homage to the original Nagari of the 1970s, particularly in the rising, curvaceous hip line and the tunnel-back rear window.
Bolwell will give the public its first look at the complete car when the Motor Show opens its doors next week at 5pm on Friday 29 February.
Melbourne International Motor Show is organised and promoted by the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce through its dealer division the Australian Automobile Dealers Association (Vic).
