Guns don’t kill people, Bill Gates does

According to the Metro it was all the fault of Chan-wook Park’s Oldboy.

According to a wag on popbitch, that pic of him should have had the speech bubble “say harro to my reetle flend”.

I hate myself for it, but I laughed for half an hour.

Thanks for spreading the news. It’s good to see Jack Thompson failing again and again.

Hey Fronz. Nice blog.

I think it’s a shame Thompson hogs the headlines so much, because I reckon his overheated nonsense stops us from having a proper debate on the subject of violence in games. I think there is some stuff worth talking about, such as the deliberate marketing of age-restricted games to people who are too young to (officially) buy them.

More bad news for Jack. According to the inquirer, police have ruled out games as a link in the VT massacre - the killer didn’t have any gaming equipment and his room-mate never saw him play games.

I didn’t think Thomson claimed that he did. There are witnesses to say the he was seen playing counter-strike when he was in High School - not college. Obviously more important as he would’ve been trained in a murder simulator at a much more impressionable age. Also the blockier graphics of older hardware would’ve been more effective.

Heh.
