Grand Theft Auto IV takes late night comedy world by storm
Comedy starved night owls are probably already aware of the attention that Rockstar's latest crime drama has received on the late night entertainment scene. We chuckled at the Daily Show's coverage of the game's midnight release, but thoroughly LOLed at Conan O'Brien's previews (embedded after the jump) of the toned-down version of Grand Theft Auto IV (if only Stephen Bishop's classic "It Might Be You" really were available on Liberty City's airwaves).
However, we didn't truly board the ROFLcopter until we saw the above skit from The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson (the former unitesticled boss on "The Drew Carey Show"). Perhaps it was the visit from "Saturday Night Live" veteran Tim Meadows that made it our fave, or perhaps it was their subtle send-up of the criticism the game has endured due to it's adult content. On that note, if there's anything funnier than the actual media coverage of Rockstar's mature blockbuster, we've yet to see it.

Right-wing favors economic independence over social independence, left-wing favors social independence over economic. So by that generalization, left-wingers would be opposed to censorship, etc.
But it seems in this case, everyone's shitting their pants, whether it dirties their left cheek or right does not seem to matter. CRAZY.
Right Wingers favor whoever fills their pockets with cash.
Left Wingers favor whoever is filling their pockets with cash as long as it isn't the same guy as the right wingers.
If any of them said they were "pro virtual dead hooker refund simulators", a LOT of voters would take it the wrong way since the gaming public doesn't get up off their ass and vote.
Now if only you could vote via dashboard/XMB/Channel....
