Daily Star runs with ‘movie videogame and books being made about Raoul Moat, to cash in on tragedy’ despite no game being in the works and not one movie or game site having even a rumour about it, and leading with a mocked up GTA, but no hint to the readers that it’s all just wishful thinking by the Star.
They went as far as finding Moat’s grandmother to ask her what she thought about the (non existent) game profiting from her son’s death, that’s just real charming and sympathetic to an old woman who’s lost her son.
Of course they seem to have faced a backlash and removed it from the site, instead asking for readers to send in some tits.

This one pissed me off no end, thought I’d pass it on, just in case it’d slipped by.
