Cruisin' the streets of GTAIV's Liberty City, one will come across a few of the city's unique attractions and landmarks, some being interesting and some iconic. Liberty City's Statue of Happiness falls both under the interesting and iconic categories. Her overly large smile, green complexion and hand holding a Rockstar cup is a sight to see. That's why when we came across a really real and uber collectible Statue of Happiness promotional ... uh, statue, we just had to share. Isn't it delicious? If you're reading this Rockstar, we beg you. Send us a case full of happiness. We promise to treat each one with the love and care they deserve to keep the smile on each Statue of Happiness' face.

It's annoying how they rename these places. Just call it what it is. Statue of Happiness isn't very clever anyway.

nah, i like the way they spin the original names. because they can't really say that New York is a crummy place to steal and deal with druglords and prostitutes. same with Miami Florida and Los Angeles California.
saying the actual state and monuments gives them a bad rep, but faking them makes it a lighthearted pun. it makes for a more appealing game. especially for those that actually live in those cities. IMO.

Anyone having issues with ZIT? It doesn't seem to work at all for me. When I go to the R* Social Club, I have 0 songs tagged, apparently.

Same. I was having troubles linking my gamertag at first, then got it done. Sometimes it just does not work. My music has not been uploaded to it either. I am guessing it has a high traffic load and they are still working out the kinks, as they have said they are going to be doing over the next little while. Really, it does not do much right now. it shwos crime and really thats it. It will grow as more people get the game and as they add new features and all. Especially once they open the multiplayer area. Anyways, NO, my music does not upload. At least not yet.

Hey guys! It's Daniel the very proud owner of the Statue of Happiness figure. Thanks for giving me some space on your fine site :)
The figure is amazing and I was really surprised when I received it. I've been following GTA news every day until launch and I didn't hear anything about Rockstar releasing a Statue of Happiness figure.
Thanks again guys and keep up the great work!

You realize that is a "Hot Coffee" cup she is holding right? Making her a symbol for freedom of content in video games?
Its rather poignant. She embodies a symbol of happiness through freedom for gamers.
