You may remember Anne Diamond for theludicrous game reviews she wrotefor theDaily Mail. You may remember Stefanie Powers fromHart to HartandNOTHING ELSE. These two shitmunchers appeared on TV to talk about therecent murder of young boyand blame it on videogames. As you do.
“I hate to think that as Americans we’ve exported along with rap music and the horrible video … I say the horrible video culture,” warbled Powers. “It’s the horrible violent video games [wiggles thumbs] which, I’m terribly sorry, they’ve been used far too long as baby-sitting devices, so that children are raised with these flashing, hot symbols of violence. And irresponsible violence; there’s no responsibility to the violence.”
Diamond chipped in with her own pearls of wisdom, likening the stockpiling of guns to the collection of game consoles: “Well in fact, having just that sort of armory under his bed — just like you’d have a couple of Nintendos and a PlayStation under your bed.”
Yeah, sheseriouslydrew that parallel.
The show host, Matthew Wright (generally regarded as a c*nt) agreed that the videogames were to blame and wants to have a fresh discussion about “shoot ’em ups” on his show. As is typical with Wright’s broadcasts, I’m sure we’ll have an intellectual and rational debate. Oh wait, no we won’t.
WRONG: Anne Diamond, Matthew Wright. Please stop talking about video games[CVG]
