Money does not breed maturity: Rockstar Games Rebuttal

There's a new consumer advocacy group in town, and they're called the Citizens United Negating Technology For Life And People's Safety.

That's right. For those of you who are acronymically-challenged, that's the C.U.N.T.F.L.A.P.S.

Letting everyone know that the Internet is wrong and should be turned off (in swank 1996 era tables, flashing text, and large blocks of color), we've come up on the newest committee bent on harming the technology that harms us.

Except there's a little problem, in the form of their WHOIS info....

So yeah, remember, just because you're a multi-million dollar game company, you don't have to stop acting like a Forum Goon.

(And no, that's not always a bad thing. This is honestly somewhat funny, if a little blunt. A good description of the backing company, too...)

Update: Apparently this is part of the viral ad site network for the upcoming GTA for the PSP. It's even listed on the game page.
