fun fact: Nooses ICE equivalent is called "PIA", this was a satirical way to say ice was a "pain in the ass" (PIA)

It's a very interesting take on noose but the thing that gets me is how accurate the satire was in GTA 4 I thought with satire you're supposed to make fun of something by creating a caricature of it not scarily hit the nail on the head two decades in advance 😂

It just occurred to me that the constant fight against terrorism but complete lack of actual terrorists or news reports about terroists may be a jab at security agencies constantly claiming terroists is more prevalent than it actually is.
