From 1up.com (via joystiq.com):
Ever see the episode of Seinfeld where Elaine tells Jerry that nude is “not a good look for a man?” Apparently Mr. Stubbs of Grand Theft Auto 4: The Lost and Damned didn’t get the memo.
If you’re brave enough, have a click above and watch as Mr. Stubbs talks business with a member of the Lost and Damned following a full body massage. The camera angles are reasonably tasteful until the 3:09 mark, but let’s just say that you’re on your own after that. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

From telegraph.co.uk:
“Ryan Chinnery, 19, found his victims as he prowled an area around his home in Ashford, Kent, in his car late at night, high on cannabis and alcohol, Maidstone Crown Court heard.
He enjoyed playing the controversial game, in which players steal cars and kill prostitutes, for “hours on end” before he went to sleep at night and had an “unhealthy interest” in pornography, the court was told.
In July of last year he grabbed one woman who was walking home and asked her for sex, before pulling her down a bank into a river, his trial last month heard.
A few weeks later he set on a woman in her 40s in similar circumstances, grabbing her by the throat, the court was told.
He pulled her down a hill, breaking her arm and leaving her powerless as he sexually assaulted her.
The court was told that police found a copy of Grand Theft Auto
in a search of his home.”

Prosecutor Eleanor Laws said Chinnery’s love of Grand Theft Auto "may go some way to explaining his attitude towards women"."
