In an earlier post, I mentioned that the Chicago Transit Authority President Ron Huberman chose to remove ads for Grand Theft Auto 4 from buses. The reasons behind it were supposedly due to pressure from Fox News’s observations on the city’s high level of violence.

When I spoke to the CTA’s media department regarding why they pulled the ads, the response I was given was that ads for a similar game had generated complaints.

Gamespot has more on this story, which can be read here.

Based on this report, Chicago stands to lose greatly from this; whether through the CTA or through its standing as a city.
