It's a crime

I have received a press release from Konami announcing their new "free roaming crime based beat-em-up", Crime Life: Gang Wars. Ignoring the obvious GTA inspiration, the one thing that struck me about the release was this sentence: "Hip Hop is popular urban youth culture, closely associated with the style and fashions of Afro-American inner-city residents". Er, right, ok. I can't wait to read the press release this Autumn for Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 5, which will hopefully contain similarly essential information. Maybe something like: "Association football is a popular sport played with a ball and enjoyed by gentleman worldwide".
