Leonida man and absurd news ticker
The GTA VI trailer contains a bunch of scenes from fake social media accounts and news broadcasts. One reveals two (mostly) humorous bits of text.
One clearly reads “Leonida man sucked up in waterspout demands the city buy him a new suit.” It is a funny phrase, but it’s also a clear callout to the Florida man meme we’re all very familiar with.
Right before that it appears to say “Escaped mental patient wins Vice City marathon.” The full first word is cut off, so I’m assuming that the first word (visible only as “ped”) should be “Escaped.” Like with the ad for Angistpan, I’d be lying if this didn’t get an eye roll from me. But then I guess it wouldn’t be a GTA game if it didn’t make some uncomfortable jokes
