What a load of utter guff. I've seriously never seen a more retarded attempt at a documentary.
The program is partly targeting kids playing games which they shouldn't due to age ratings, but then the BBC fantastically has two 14-year-old kids playing Vice City to illustrate it. Great work there, you bunch of hypocrites.
And I loved the interview with the American solicitor working for the families of the people who were killed/injured as a result of the shooting that Vice City supposedly was to blame for. "We're suing the boys, their parents, Wal-Mart, the store who sold the game, Rockstar and any other development company working for Rockstar. Oh, not to mention we're suing the boys' PlayStation for playing the game, their TV for allowing them to view it, their cabinet which stored it, plus the grass outside the house and some random car in Alabama."
These people have a right to be annoyed, but attempting to sue everything in sight really doesn't do well for them from other points of view. It sort of suggests money is more important to them than justice.
And my opinion on the matter?
Well, I think gaming is again being pointlessly used as a scapegoat by all those idiots that can't control their kids. What did the family have a rifle in their cupboard for anyway? I think that, and not a computer game featuring violence, should be blamed for the sheer stupidity of these kids.

Hands up how many people have played GTA or a violent game?
*few hundred thousand hands go up*
Hands up how many people have imitated something they saw in said game?
*tumbleweed rolls past*
I rest my case. The partents are to blame, not the games.

Yes unfortunetly I did. I fail to see how that song helps anyone, apart from Busted, their songs seem half decent now.

Yes unfortunetly I did. I fail to see how that song helps anyone, apart from Busted, their songs seem half decent now.
I started a topic about this in the movie forum yesterday, and I've voiced my opinions in there, but I can't be bothered repeating them here.

The guy was clearly a mong, did you hear the song one of them sang about vice city?
The ESA guy summed it up perfectly for me with his views on the games and kids not being taught the right morals etc
