How the media view gaming

I saw this and thought I'd share:

Sums things up pretty well don't ya think?

I suppose it's that way a little, though I haven't heard too much about it lately.

I take it the media in England is similar to that of the U.S.? I don't think I've ever seen an English news broadcast...

Yep.

'GAMES ARE BAD' seems to be a recurring theme.

abba....

personally I think we should ban real life as its too dangerous.

I think in the UK we dont hype the computer deaths as much as you guys in the states, but then we only have had a few nutters who have blamed games. you guys in the states.. it seems the rule that if you’re caught with a smoking assault shotgun and several dead bodies (of close personal family of course)... that its best to say "I play GTA" because then you will get a lighter sentence as it 'wasn’t really your fault'.

plus your only 12.

arrrrrrgh!

everyone who has murdered or committed serious crimes and then go on to blame GTA.... not one sole has been over 18.. not one.

ban real life, yeh!

It's called a scapegoat, gentleman. Home life and school are perfect, with top notch parenting and education. It must be the videogames, the movies, and the music that's causing all this explicit violence.
