U2's Bono MAY buy GTA parent company?

the irony of it all.. a Rockstar is going to by Rockstar....

Quote
IRISH rocker-turned-global do-gooder Bono has been keeping busy lately, challenging the president to increase aid to the world's poor and launching his new "Red" campaign to fight HIV and AIDS in Africa. But behind the scenes, the New York Post reports that his firm, Elevation Partners, is in talks to buy Take-Two Interactive, the troubled video-game company responsible for the not-so-globally-conscious game "Grand Theft Auto".

and in other news, jack thompson writes to him as 'brother in christ' , to NOT purchase the 'murder simulator'

Re: Your Possible Purchase of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.

Dear Bono:

I write you as a fellow brother in Jesus Christ, appreciative of your bold witness to the transforming truth of the Gospel, in both your words and your deeds. You daily "fight the good fight," serving Him as salt and as light in an unbelieving world. You inspire other Christians to confront the "culture of death" that surrounds us all, and I thank you. Because of what you do, it is easier for me to do what I have been called to do.

I write to encourage you, respectfully and in a spirit of brotherly love, not to purchase Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. It is reported in the New York Post and in the San Francisco Chronicle that your Elevation Partners is engaged in talks to do just that. See

but what if it is all a play to prevent any further releases of GTA?   i.e. purchase the company, and disolve the franchise...
(far fetched, i know.. but bono is a 'crusader')

Its not far fetched @ all and its more than a likely possibilty that could be bono's motive.

But fear not young ones

Rockstar was around , producing and releasing GTA long before they needed take 2 to release their product on mass.

They made postal with out take 2 as well, so is no scene really.
If take 2 gets dissolved, then rockstar will move back to their roots and have the game released by hook or crook.
And in that case, they may release a GTA hollywood, and yu may get to take out stupid nazis lawyers and backstabbing do gooder irish rock stars.
Who knows.

......would you just hear that freaking hypocrite talk?
"I come to you as a fellow brother in Jesus Christ..."
FAH. And FAH again. It makes me wonder why wacko Jacko hasn't been hit with a lightning bolt as yet.
