I was really shocked when we watched that video advertisement by one of the major banks where the little boy has a real life experience that nearly directly depicts the nature of the video game “Grand Theft Auto”. This little boy steals a car, averts a chase from the police (complete with sniper fire), and ultimately ends up back at home where his father has not even noticed that his son had left. The tag-line was something like “Everyone is welcome here”. How sick and twisted is that??!! So basically, no matter how immoral you are, this bank is willing to take your money. But this begs to ask the question, are we really so caught up in our virtual realities that our tangible reality is changed by the virtual experiences? Initially, I thought the commercial was pretty funny because this little boy is acting like a hardcore thug, which he clearly is not. But as I thought about it further, I just became more and more disturbed.
