Default 11 year old girl praised for playing GTA IV

1217248690 We all know GTA IV is an R18 game and many of the issues and controversy surrounding it could be prevented by parents monitoring what their children play. One lucky family is thankful they disregarded the R18 stickers and endless amounts of negative publicity surrounding the game after their Jeep Grand Cherokee suddenly swerved off the road, hit a rail and flipped several times. 11 year old Audrey Plique climbed over the back seat, heroically pulling her 9 year old sister, her 7 year old brother and her mum and dad out of the wasted vehicle. Mother, Karen Norris believes her daughters gaming potentially saved their lives:
She just knew, from playing Grand Theft Auto. She saw on there that when a car rolls over, it can blow up. She knew that could happen to us. She showed the kind of bravery and courage you don't expect from an 11-year-old. She stayed composed. She sounded upset, but she knew the things she had to get done to help her parents and siblings.

Roll that up and smoke it Jack.

Using the logic from that article, she can save people from burning cars, and in 2 years, start smoking crack and selling herself on the street.

Regardless of the whole video games make people violent argument crapola, an 11 year old playing GTA is pretty naff.

What really gets me is seeing little kids playing PIRATED adult games, not only are the parents irresponsible, they're cheap!

Maybe in 2 years time her parents will be really poor cause of the problems post this car crash, and therefore she will know exactly the right way to get them out of their financial problems by selling herself on the street/starting to deal drugs etc etc.
