Thanks, Kotaku.

The internet is buzzing with jokes about Samsung's explosive Galaxy Note 7 phones. One of the more elaborate jokes is a mod for Grand Theft Auto V that replaces sticky bombs with Galaxy Note phones.

It would seem Samsung aren't appreciating the joke. A video featuring the mod was slapped by a copyright claim on YouTube and thus can no longer be viewed. Who issued that copyright claim? Samsung Electronics, America Inc. There are still other videos up on YouTube and you can still try the mod for yourself.
