The Onion investigates Liberty City cops' incompetence
It's even threatening to drive some people out of town! "Sure, we have excellent radio stations and an incredible range of things to see and do here," public defender Kiki Jenkins says. "But if I were younger, I'd move to Mario World in a second." We hear you Kiki, we hear you.

This is why I love JoyStiq. When there is nothing to post they post these awesome bits =D

Holy crap, I can just save to clear my wanted level?! I wish I'd known that some 50 hours ago!

lol its like that in every GTA game. i always get scared they will take it out though in newer games. i really helps when you get up around 4+ stars.

That's why they are called Safe Houses.
It is a bit artificial, but so is everything else in GTA, a little.

I read and passed this around last week. God I love The Onion.

"I was buying a hot dog from a street vendor in Hove Beach yesterday when I saw someone run a red light, barrel down the sidewalk, careen into a garbage truck, exit his vehicle, steal a nearby convertible, and drive away,"
Guilty....but it was worth it for that Feltzer!

I love the Onion, they always nail it just right.

Classic.

Ludwig's lion cubs or Justin's McNugget Kids: whose offspring do I most want to bear?
I'm going to need some time to think, boys.

This is the best Onion video-game-related article since: http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28288

to all who said "I love the onion" etc. you may also love Sarcastic Gamer. They wrote nearly the same article about a month ago:

No idea is original(especially the the obvious ones like this). GTA cops have always been a bunch of scrubs. Why are people only taking notice of it now?
Gaucho @ Jun 9th 2008 11:26AM
wow, you guys are late on this. This came out last week.
Justin McElroy @ Jun 9th 2008 11:52AM
And when breaking news like this drops, it's key to get it out as quickly as possible.
mr mobius @ Jun 9th 2008 12:14PM
Not know that even the internet in South Africa has a time delay. Thats why Justin took as long. He just replied to your comment pre-emptively since there is always a comment like this on this type of article.
Korova *Pyro aspect* @ Jun 9th 2008 12:19PM
Justin,
You broke my sarcasm meter. Now what am I gonna do?

The Onion > NY Post & NY Daily News
Gaucho @ Jun 9th 2008 11:43AM
& the onion > NY times

Ahhhh... Kiki. The best of the girlfriends in the game. I don't know how many times I've had her clear my wanted levels...
Can't see her moving to the Mushroom Kingdom, though. But I could see her defending Bowser in court...
Judd @ Jun 9th 2008 2:20PM
Yea, it's Mushroom Kingdom, not Mario World.
Besides that, the article was pretty spot on.
Psaakyrn @ Jun 9th 2008 1:34PM
That's kinda the point: ANYWHERE's better than Liberty City.
Though granted they do have awesome kart races there.

That was the first Onion article in a while that I read all the way to the end. They usually have a great headline and first paragraph but then they just keep on and on with the same joke.
This one was gold all the way through.
