Title: Just in time for the holiday shopping season...
Post by: den68 on November 30, 2004, 09:38:55 AM
another protest against violent video games...*YAWN*

A coalition of religious and family groups criticized video game makers Tuesday for creating products that allegedly glorify murder and hate crimes--and slammed retailers for selling such games to minors.

You know and the violence and sex on T.V. is bad as well.  ::)

Seriously.... When will people start blaming themselves as parents and as a society for violence and not other things.

sadly probably never. if they did they wouldn't be able to form groups with cool names like the Interfaith Center on Corporate Advocacy.

And families. Really, who the hell do these people think they are that they can tell others what to do? Bastards.

waaaaay back when I used to work at Kay-Bee Toys we used to get members of these groups in the store, especially around Christmas. They used to sneak around putting stickers on the toys that said "Don't Buy War Toys". I caught a few but all we could do was toss them out. We could have prosecuted them for damaging packaging but management didn't want to be bothered. It was just easier to kick them out of the store an peel the stickers off.

I cut the "Don't" off one and stuck it on my name badge. I think I've still got that in a box somewhere.

Had another name badge with a sticker off a rubber duck that said "Squeeze Me".

We should start our own group - gamers against mad mothers (GAMM). The goal would be to educate people on the differences between placing the blame and responsibility for YOUR LITTLE BASTARD on someone else, or taking it yourself...lmfao

I loved that article so much that I made part of it my new signature.  Those people are the best.  They're almost as cool as Joe Lieberman, who has also made a statement recently about how much he loves to kill prostitutes and steal their money in games like Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.  The part I liked best was when they showed footage of GTAIII on the news when speaking of GTA:SA.  Clearly video games are to blame for violence and sexual abuse.  The only reason they have been allowed to be legal for so long is that they keep zombie and bad guy populations in the world down to almost none.
