The Irish aren’t too happy about the name of a town drunk in the just-released Red Dead Redemption.

An [URL=http://www.herald.ie/national-news/irish-drunk-sours-launch-of-hit-game-2187117.html]article on the Herald website[/URL] notes that “The stereotype of the drunken Paddy will again be taken advantage of, as the game's town drunk is called "Irish". A description of the character, which the Herald took from a “popular gaming forum”, describes Irish as “the town drunk. Usually found stumbling around and getting into trouble with sober townsfolk while attempting to talk his way out".

Rockstar itself [URL=http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/5161/original_red_dead_redemption_artwork_luisa_fortuna_&_irish.article]painted the character[/URL] as “A teller of tall tales, who’ll try to talk his way out of anything.” Another piece of character artwork offered has Irish, while brandishing a liquor bottle, stating, “I was real drunk. You know how it is.”
