Grand Theft Auto 5: $800 million in 24 hours

The majority of young gamers knew that this would happen. What is curious is that a game so violent and hated by parents is such a good business for the people of Rockstar Games. Grand Theft Auto is a game where one is a fictional character working for mafias, committing crimes and theft. This game not only is characterized by that, it also contains cars, planes, boats and many more artifacts from daily life.

According to media, this game has generated in their first 24 hours, more than $800 million dollars, beating Call of Duty Black Ops 2, a game that came out last year, generating a turnover of $500 million in 24 hours.

In my opinion, it makes no sense that people worry more for how violent this game is, instead of thinking about how our world is filled with such tragic things. I’m not saying not to let kids play, nor that the game should be banned. Just keep in mind that life is more than just video games.

Forbidden chips

Cristina and Juan were on their way to the movies. They arrived, bought the tickets, but when they were walking into the cinema, the supervisor said to Cristina:

“Wait, wait, what’s that in your bag?”.

“It’s my pistol”, she answered.

“No, next to the pistol”

“Oh, those are my chips”, she replied.

The supervisor got angry and said: “You cannot go into the movies with food!”.

Michelle Obama hacked

This article is about a web page in the United States that stole very private information from famous people: the president’s wife, famous actors, singers and politicians. The hackers stole social security numbers and other things to sell it to other people for very little money.

The FBI is investigating how they could have stolen this information, and how are they going to use it. The web page is now closed but the investigation continues.

In my opinion I think nothing is safe now, and even information from a computer can be stolen by anyone. That’s why is very important to protect your identity and the passwords of your accounts, but even if you do, these hackers can access your information and steal even the money you have in your bank account.
