Activists and advocates for the Haitian community will gather at City Hall Tuesday to denounce "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," a video game they say is violent and racist, as well as dehumanizing to Haitians.

In a release issued yesterday, the Haitian Centers Council and Haitian Americans for Human Rights said Manhattan-based Rockstar Games Inc., which made the game, and its parent company, Take 2 Interactive Software Inc., "advocate the killing of Haitians as entertainment."

"Players are instructed to kill all Haitians, who, in the video game, are stereotyped as thugs, thieves and drug dealers," the release said.

We got the 'Censored to shit' Version. However, if you know the right people, you can get the US Version. The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification needs to have a good hard look at themselves, and stop treating the population like idiots
