I got this exact same box of shwag a week or so ago, minus the lapel pin. Which makes me think I accidentally threw the lapel pin out with the box :( Dammit!

I have the license plate on my car. It's interesting to see who recognizes where it came from and who just thinks my name is Niko. I'm sure it will get stolen once the game is out =(

If this stuff is for GTA4, then why is the foam hand only holding up 3 fingers? That kind of mistake by their marketing department is just plain shocking!

I WILL have one of those licence plates. I don't care what I have to do but I will find and buy/steal/barter/trade/sell my soul to get one. Especially since where I live (Montreal, QC) we aren't required to have front plates and I could actually put it on the front of my car!!

Examples of the shocker are:

Two in the easy, one in the sleazy
Two in the rung, one in the dung
Two in the pounder, one in the rounder
Two in the cooter, one in the pooter
Two in the pump, one in the rump
Two in the grasshole, one in the asshole
Two in the rug, one in the plug
Two in the frollicks, one in the bollocks
Two in the punk, one in the bunk
Two in the pump, one in the rump
Two in the shooter, one in the tooter
Two in the fucker, one in the pucker
Two in the cha-cha, one in the ka-ka
Two in the choo-choo, one in the poo-poo
Two in the spunk, one in the bunk
Two in the funk, one in the stunk
Two in the ponanny, one in the shit cranny

That shocker foam finger is amazing. At work a few weeks ago a friend of mine asked what the "shocker" meant. He looked it up on his blackberry :D

This isn't a good GTA post to talk shit on, because this is a story that I'd've written if I got the swag. That being said... this site is a lil' GTA heavy. I agree the game is a big deal, but when you can have a GTA News Weekly Wrap Up which is more size-able than your regular weekly round-up... I dunno.
I hate to bitch, because I'm reeeallly excited about GTA IV. I just hope it isn't effecting the rate of non-GTA posts.

WreckTheLaw — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:59:51 MDT

I think that, despite being a fanboy about GTA stuff, the good should be used to draw in cash for Child's Play. Actually, does the ECA do any fund raising events? It seems to me that GTA is to gaming what some of the mid 80s Miller, Moore, Gaiman etc. comics were to that medium: It pushes the boundaries of what is often thought of as a "for kids" product and is often criticized for its vulgarity and violence, despite it's artistic merit. Art from those sorts of authors are often auctioned off to raise money for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and the ECA is what comes to mind for me when I think of that. http://www.cbldf.org/membership.shtml Hell, a group of that stuff + a copy of GTA IV signed by the Housers and Rockstar North would go for quite a pretty penny, I'd wager.

SuWide — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:56:42 MDT

As bad as i want all that stuff, there are surly ppl out there who would pay alot cuz its GTAIV-Branded. So like jayntampa said, its a win win situation.

Maybe a sort of "silent auction"-type on this page, where every one donates for charity and at the end the the x.Person in the donation-list gets a prize.

Short => Charity ^^
