Cool link, Leonardo07.

Another Thompson-related article I found endlessly fascinating...

If you go on the Screw attack website they have a few videos from another companty (sister company if you will) that made videos regarding the gamers protesting and such. It's interesting, but also sad because not a ton of gamers showed their support.

I'd be surprised if more than two of the gamers I've ever met IRL in my entire life had enough motivation to show their support (in an organized fashion). :/

In any event, it's nice to finally see a voice of reason within the news media community. Everybody -- and I mean everybody -- should read this article.

So some douche bag with to much time on his hands thinks he's a saint. Big deal, as long as there's more gamers then people like him and gaming remains a multi-million dollar market it won't affect a thing.

If that were the case cigarettes would have been out lawed years ago

In the words of the great Polish Philosopher, Nelson Muntz...

"HA HA!"

I really wish that more of this stuff happened to people like him. Especially the Action for Children's Television Nazis. If you don't like violence... guess what? Try to stop REAL violence from happening. use all the resorces you have to keep kids out of gangs and off drugs, and not editing One Piece so the characters "go to the dungeon" and myseriously never come back.

If you want kids to stop getting fat, don't try to censor cartoon characters Eating cake.

If you want kids to not smoke, try to make it harder for them to start, not make a movie X-rated because someone lights up.

The only way to protect your kids from reality is to BE A PARENT!
