News HeadLines To Generate Moral Panic

This is my first headline that could generate moral panic. It is based on Grand Theft Auto IV which is released on the 29th of April this year.

"Games ENCOURAGE Drink-Driving"

This is based on the fact that in the game you can drive vechicles while the player's character (Niko) is drunk. This effect is done by making the screen blurry and the car's difficult to control, so that the player is not totally in control of the car. It is also (as far as I know), the first game to have drink-driving in it.

The second headline is also from GTA IV.

"Games REWARD Killing Cops, Prostitutes & Dangerous Driving with Money".
