In the diatribe, which carries the headline ‘Grand Theft Morality’, Beck likens the training soldiers have received through the ages to the experience of playing the game – adding: “It took 75 years and countless billions of dollars to train our soldiers to kill. Today, $60 buys your kid the same thing.”
Other choice quotes from the feature, which you can view on YouTube here, include: “In Grand Theft Auto, your son, husband or boyfriend or whoever, can hire a prostitute, have sex with her and then beat her to death with a baseball bat.
“When a police officer comes after him, he can either light him on fire or cut him in half with chainsaw. This is entertainment?”
Beck signs off wit the line: “Whatever happened to Pong?”
