Video Games - the new cancer?

jj.jpgA new report from someone with too much time on their hands at the University of Michigan says violent video games can harm children.

After studying 50 years of research into the subject (because we've had 50 years of video games, haven't we?) media whores researchers L. Rowell Huesmann and Brad Bushman said violent games were a major public health threat as they raise the aggression levels of those who play them and that the problem was second only to lung cancer caused by smoking.

So far so utterly ridiculous, however, I have a solution.

Let's petition video game makers to create porn titles from now on! If violent games make kids violent then surely porno games will create an air of "make love, not war" - everybody wins! When I've finished composing this blog entry I'll be writing to Eidos with my plans for Lara Croft - Womb Raider and to Infinity Ward with a suggestion for Call Of Duty 5 - Ultra-modern Cum-bat.
