Embarrassed news editors have had to admit that the media furore over the alleged stabbing in London of a customer queuing to buy the latest must-have console game Grand Theft Auto IV was grossly misreported.
The man, it turned out, had not pre-ordered the game, was not in the 100-strong queue outside Croydon’s Gamestation, and was in fact attacked a quarter of a mile away outside a train station.
Further enquiries revealed that there is in fact no such game as Grand Theft Auto IV, and nor is there any such thing as responsible journalism.
