20 Biggest WTF Moments In GTA History

7. Hilary Clinton On Happiness Island

GTA Statue Of Happiness
Rockstar Games

In Grand Theft Auto IV Rockstar turned their hand toward a new vision of New York City as they took players back to Liberty City for Niko's journey. As expected, their city features plenty of iconic landmarks under different names and slightly altered designs.

None is quite so unexpected, however, as their Statue of Happiness in place of the Statue of Liberty. On the face of it this seems a pretty harmless change, but a closer look at the statue itself reveals a controversial motivation behind the design.

The face of the statue bears a striking resemblance to Hilary Clinton, and the statue is holding a coffee cup aloft in its right hand - said to be in response to Clinton's investigation into the infamous 'Hot Coffee' controversy from GTA: San Andreas.
