GTA player inadvertently sparks bomb fear Stateside
'It's all a big misunderstanding!' defendant claims...
A new report which emerged from The Florida Times-Union points to a rather amusing case of cross-purposes, which has resulted in Anthony S. Jones of Jacksonville, Florida languishing in prison on a $5,003 bond, with the prospect of a fifteen-year sentence hanging over him. Apparently, Jones was on the phone to a colleague at the restaurant where he worked, before shouting: "There's a bomb in the building! There's a bomb in the building! Everyone needs to get out!" into the phone.
Rattled employees naturally evacuated the premises immediately and the police were called. When no device was found in the restaurant, the police traced the call to Jones who was shocked by the chaos he'd caused, and claimed he'd merely been shouting advice to a child playing Grand Theft Auto during his call.
Quite why Jones wasn't identified by his co-employee is unknown, and the fact that he still being held suggests there could be more to the story that the Times-Union offers. Yet more evidence that kids shouldn't play violent games? I have a headache.

cool game
I highly doubt that this suggests that children shouldn't play violent video games. All it suggests is that Anthony S. Jones is stupid.
It is common sense NOT to shout "theres a bomb in the building" inside a building and on the phone. Why would you shout, anyway?
Never knew he would be that dumb to be lettin those words slip outta his mouth while talkin to someone on the phone...And i have played games sinse i was 4 and i started with teens rating =-p
