GTA V: 10 Hillarious News Reports To Remind Us How "Evil" The Game Is

4. Harwick

Harwick Most people would be flattered to find their town got a mention in a pop culture phenomenon. Just look how crazy people watching wrestling or at a gig go at the mere mention of their hometown. €˜€™He said the name off where I live..Woooooooooooo€ The residents of Hawick, a small Scottish town that sits roughly 40 miles south of Edinburgh, were not very pleased to find their sleepy hometown getting a mention in GTA V. Rockstar named a district of Los Santos after Harwick and that upset the townsfolk, who objected to the association because apparently the biggest thing to worry about in Harwick is kids on mopeds, a world away from the crime-riddled streets of Los Santos. Hawick Councillor David Paterson said;
€œI am horrified that they have put Hawick in a game like that. Hawick is a lovely place and to see them do that is ridiculous. I€™m totally disgusted. I€™ve never even seen a gun in my life.€
