TriMet: GTA ads gone from buses
And the saga of the GTA ads pull-down continues. We’ve just crossed out Denver and Boston on our list of places to look for GTA ads, and from the looks of it, Oregon will be joining the duo.
Oregon’s TriMet public transport agency announced the pullout of GTA ads from the sides of their buses in response to protests from passengers who said the game promoted criminal violence.
TriMet mentioned they didn’t endorse ads that encouraged illegal activity, and that they were unaware of the game’s nature when the national agency that purchased the space posted the ad. (You guys NEVER played GTA titles?)
TriMet’s set to lose around US $71,000 for the pull-down, and further notes that they will be adding an extra review board to make sure similar slip-ups will not be happening again. Okay, videogame ads encouraging illegal activity – now to go after comics, movies, TV, magazines, anime (No way!)…
