It's a load of horse **** i say! i don't blame anything not even Mortal Kombat for that incident in 2008 with those teens kicking and punching a 7 year old girl all the way through the house.

They should take notes from Billy's quote from Scream about movies don't make psychos. Or even better yet, this brilliant quote from a magazine in 1949 which was seen in Creepshow 2.

"Juvenile delinquency is the product of pent up frustrations, stored-up resentments and bottled-up fears. It is not the product of cartoons and captions. But the comics are a handy, obvious, uncomplicated scapegoat. If the adults who crusade against them would only get as steamed up over such basic causes of delinquency as parental ignorance, indifference, and cruelty, they might discover that comic books are no more a menace than Treasure Island or Jack the Giant Killer".
Colliers magazine, 1949

Your reverse psychology won't work on me. That's a fact, Jack.
 
You know what things video games make look cool?
Parachute jumping, skydiving, rope swinging, suspending a statue head to a helicopter, flying, diving in deep sea, exploring HUGE areas to find your way around, running long distances, high jumps, rock climbing........

Did anyone ever mention that to people blaming these things on violence that fills this world?
