Consumer Bites: 05/06/08
- The video game publisher who is responsible for “Grand Theft Auto 4″ just car-jacked the Chicago Transit Authority with a lawsuit for breach of contract. The CTA pulled ads for the controversial video game despite a $300,000 advertising deal. Now, the publisher is seeking damages of… guess how much… $300,000! They also want the lawsuit to end in forcing the CTA to run the ads. How’s that for free advertising? (link)
- A 67 year-old man had a custom coffin made for himself. Awesome! Until he kicks the can, he’s using it as a beer cooler. Super Awesome! Hipsters across America are kicking themselves for not thinking of this first. (link via Chicagoist)
- The world’s ten most disgusting beers? Where is Mountain Creek? I’ve only tried one of the beers on this list. Which beers would you nominate? Which of these have you tried? (link)

I’ve seen the Cave Creek Chili beer but haven’t worked up the testicular fortitude to sample it. And I’m okay with that. It’s always looked like a bad idea to me.
