GTA 5 features wildly incongruous folk soundtrack

THE new Grand Theft Auto game is soundtracked by folk artists like Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span and Ralph McTell.

GTA’s popular in-game radio station, hosted by Lazlow Jones, previously featured 80s electro funk and hip hop.

A spokesman for Rockstar North said: “We’ve just really gotten into songs about fair maidens, hedgerows and tinkers going a-wandering under the moonlight.

“It sounds weird but going on a virtual crime spree to a backdrop of morris dancing music is a surprisingly hypnotic experience.”

Plastic bags to carry lewd images

PLASTIC bags are to be printed with lurid sexual imagery in a bid to discourage their use.

Tesco bags will carry an image of a dwarf having sex with a trumpet, while Sainsbury’s carriers will feature a manga-style orgy involving sexy animals.

A government spokesman said: “A detailed design showing a woodland creature getting wanked off will do much more to reduce plastic consumption than a paltry 5p charge.

“Shoppers will stop and think ‘do I really need this bag enough that I am prepared to walk through town carrying a picture of a squirrel with a massive erection?'”

Mother-of-two Nikki Hollis said: “It’s a good idea in principle but yesterday I forgot my ‘bag for life’ at Morrison’s so the checkout girl gave me carriers showing male bikers stroking each other’s bits.

“Now my children want leather jackets for Christmas.”

The spokesman added: “We’ve made an exception with Waitrose bags. Waitrose shoppers will simply be offered Lidl bags, or nothing at all.”
