It’s the prize no city wants to
win. e award no one wants.
Like a schoolboy informed he does
not play well with others, Liberty
City has once more been voted
“e least likely place to succeed
in America”. Eight out of the past
twelve years the city has won this
dubious accolade, and this year was
the first that the city topped the
bill in 6 out of 7 categories.
Liberty City was not “e city
where you were most likely to
get eaten by a wild animal” (that
dubious honor went to Los Santos)
but was considered the place you
were most likely to get mugged
or robbed, die of diseases caused
by pollution, be exposed to lethal
amounts of radiation, become
an alcoholic or drug addict, get
accidental gender re-alignment or
marry a relative.
City officials claimed “People
should not get so excited about
reports like this. e fact is our
town is a vibrant, energetic place
that people love. If you take a few
simple precautions, like wearing

a gasmask and having a full-time
military trained body guard, you
are just as safe and happy in Liberty
City as any other profoundly
dangerous urban environment.”
Mayor Hole was unavailable for
comment but is known to be a big
fan of the city, especially after the
fortune he made in local politics. ❖

“MOTORCYCLES KILL
KIDS AND MUST BE BANNED”
SAY PROTEST GROUP
by Gaylord Morrisen
A new protest group is
pushing hard to have all forms of
two-wheeled transport banned
from our city streets. Following
the successful banning of bicycles
from Liberty City a few years
ago, American Road Safety for
Everybody (A.R.S.E.) has been
pushing hard in recent weeks to
get motorcycles banned from the
city. ey quote some chilling
statistics to support their case,
although some believe they may
have made these up. An A.R.S.E.
spokesman told the Liber ty Tree,
“Motorcycles cause more deaths
per year than old age. ey are the
number one killer in our city and
must be banned.”
He continued, “If the city
doesn’t take action, then we the
people are going to have to start.
People on motorcycles are trying to
kill all of us, so we at A.R.S.E. say
it’s time to fight back. All bikers
will be treated as fair game going
forward and every civic-minded
citizen is encouraged to knock
Page 4
these killers off their motorcycles.”
A.R.S.E. was founded thanks
to a generous donation from the
Maibatsu Corporation of America.

plans for its next generation

of cars and trucks, including
the Monstrosity, an SUV that
promises, “It will revolutionize the
suburbs” and is expected to hit the
streets sometime in 2001.
ere were some technical
issues at the demonstration as the
prototype had to be filled using a
gasoline tanker and was running
partially on jet fuel. A minor
fire broke out but only a couple
of people were hurt, only one of
which is likely to be permanently
disfigured. A.R.S.E. continues
its fight. ❖

R.C. HOLE IN
ANOTHER PROBE
by Anul Garbaskar
“Mayor Hole is up to his old
tricks again”, claims a real estate
mogul. e City is to investigate
Hole, who has been at City
Hall since 1992 and has already
“Hole is up
to his neck in filth
once more.”
survived three major scandals.
ere was the famous million
dollar lunch incident in 1993,
in which Hole, three Russian
prostitutes and a senior manager
from a construction company
were trying to secure government
contracts.
en there was the incident
in 1995, when Hole was
photographed having lunch with
members of the Forelli crime
family. And lastly there was an
incident last year in which he was
accused of securing drugs for city
officials in exchange for sanitation
contracts.
Now, according to Donald
Love, part-time resident and a
very rich man indeed, “Hole is up
to his neck in filth once more.”
Love claims he has evidence to
prove Hole had accepted bribes
in exchange for city construction
contracts. “I will be challenging
Hole and his corrupt regime any
way I can. If I can’t get the court
to take me seriously, like all very
rich men, I will challenge him
by running for mayor. I have no
previous political experience, but
again, I am very rich, and you can’t
beat that.” ❖

RAILS BREAKFAST CEREAL
U N DE R F DA SC RU T I N Y
by Beverly Clamhopper
eir slogan may be
“Breakfast just got quicker” but
the early morning craze that
is sweeping through our city
is now under an F DA probe.
e popular breakfast cereal
you snort, RAILS, by Mendez
Foodstuffs of Medellin, has been
wowing food retailers since it was
introduced last year, but some
parenting groups are concerned
and now the FDA have launched
an investigation.
Reports of children having
nosebleeds abound, while some
parents insist that after enjoying
a healthy serving of RAILS,
their k ids talk at length about
how they are going to take over
the world and become obsessed
by conspiracy theories.
Meanwhile some schools are
reporting a RAILS epidemic. “I
want to repor t a R AILS epidemic”
said one school spokesman, who
spoke to us on the condition of
anonymity. As his comment was
unfeasibly banal, we are only too
happy to oblige. “More R AILS
please” may be the slogan kids
are shouting across the country
but parents are wondering, “Are
RAILS really such a good thing?”
e kids may be confident, but at
what cost? ❖
