10 Horrifically Illegal Things You Can Do In Rockstar's Games
9. Visit A Paedophilic Website
The internet is a dark and scary place; we all know that. Grand Theft Auto IV's in-game internet is no different, as evidenced by this easter egg. You will find the above screen at the in-game website: www.littlelacysurprisepageant.com - as you can see, the LCPD are monitoring traffic to the site and as a result, your character is now under investigation. Oops. You'll earn an instant 5-Star Wanted Level and the FIB and LCPD will be on your case immediately. It's an entertaining easter egg with a much darker undertone but it's clearly all meant to be in jest; after all, there's no actual paedophilic content in the game at all. Rockstar have pushed the boundaries of what's acceptable in this manner before though; Little Lacy Surprise is actually a brand that's regularly used within the series. Radio ads for suggestive underwear for kids are played on GTA: Vice City Stories and there are further references in Chinatown Wars and GTA V. It's all tongue-in-cheek (intended as a parody of beauty pageants in general) but it's easy to see why people could be offended. If you're curious about whether the website has become a reality, don't worry: it used to link back to Rockstar's own but now simply comes up with an error message. Phew!
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
