Today, I actually heard my 14 year-old son muse to himself, "If I can drive drunk in Grand Theft Auto, how hard could it be in real life?" FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I let my 19-year-old son drive my Lexus to his date. At 11:00 p.m., I watched him pull into the driveway with a broken taillight, marks and scratches all over the car, the front bumper missing, and him being nearly passed out because he's so drunk. FML
Today, I came home to find my 14-year-old son attempting to get drunk off aftershave. FML
Today, my 15-year-old son was waiting in the car for me after driving around to build up hours for his permit. He then decided it was a good idea to quickly drive over to catch a Pokemon nearby. He didn't count on getting pulled over for texting and driving while underage without an adult though. FML
Today, I let my son take my car out for a spin, since he just got his licence. He didn't make it out of our street before totaling it. FML
Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML
Today, thanks to Grand Theft Auto, I found myself seriously thinking about holding up an armored bank truck when I saw it in traffic. FML
Today, I picked up my idiot 20 year-old son from a party. He was shit-faced drunk and managed to drop his vape out the window as I was driving. He tried to open the door of the moving car to get out and look for it, and I had to grab him and pull him back in. Legally, this moron is an adult. FML
Today, I had to bail my son out of jail, because he's a wimp and wouldn't last a night in there. His crime: pissing through the open windows of passing cars after losing a bet with his friends. I feel like if he gave me grandkids, they'd be born with half a brain. FML
Today, my 14-year-old daughter told me she's pregnant and plans on dropping out of school to live a life on the road with her boyfriend. FML
Today, I found out that my 16-year-old son bought a huge amount of grape juice, because he thought he could store it under his bed and wait for it to turn to wine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well, if you do decide to drive drunk in the game, the police almost immediately begin chasing you, and you're likely to get a DUI. Unless your son is skilled at evading police, I doubt he'll ever try it.

If I was a parent and I heard my kid(s) say something like that, that particular copy of GTA would get "lost" until I'd had time to give my kid(s) a reality check. Just saying. [EDIT] Here, OP, don't know if you'll see this but if you do, you should make a video of a car crash in GTA and use the Internet to get footage of a real life car crash. Play the two, one after the other, in front of your kid as a comparison. That might do the trick.

everyone here is saying that videogames don't influence kids. but a sixteen year old in Dallas stabbed a taxi driver and when he was put on trail he said he had done it in gta and that he thought he could really do it.

Likely on advice from his lawyer, trying to beat the charge. Being under oath doesn't make people honest.

Well, that kid obviously had pre-existing mental or emotional disorder.

What in the world are you doing letting your kid play that game?! Video games have ratings for a reason. Don't give me the bs of, "But all of his friends play this game!!!" I've played video games since I was 5, and my mom didn't let me play mature games until I was of age. My friends played them and I still stayed away from them since I knew my mom didn't approve. It's all about parenting skills...

Ratings on games are for overprotective parents. Regardless what the parents let the child play, they still go to school with peers that talk about/show things that are equally as bad. No keeping kids from anything nowadays.
