A report in this weeks News of the World is trying to draw links between recent violent acts in our schools, and videogames, have a read and tell me, do video games cause violence, is is the cause possibly down to something else?
"In our schools today children face daily beatings and abuse from other pupils. These pupils could well be high on video-games, and copying from them, leaving those children not perverted by the evil of mindless consoles in a shocking state of distress, and in severe cases, undress. I went undercover in one of our nations schools to uncover the gritty truth.
Hargreaves School for Boys was my destination, dressed in the typical uniform of the day, skateboard under my arm, I began my undercover operation. Just inside the gates I saw the first terrible act. Three large boys were kicking a flattened can of diet cola around. Suddenly one gave it a huge punt, and it rose as high as 8 inches from the ground, striking a small boy hard on the tongue of his mammoth trainers. It was quite apparent that the kicker, who shall remain nameless, had been playing some kind of game that had involved kicking, possibly a football game, and it had possessed him, made him believe that he was still in the game because of the evil mind control drugs, and LSD coated joypads. The boys were also talking about a 'match' they had watched last night, no doubt reffering to a gritty beat 'em-up they had been playing.
The rest of the day went without much happening, until I came to leave the school for the day. As I was crossing the playground a group of 5 bigger boys rushed towards me, and started pointing and laughing. Then they jumped on me, rubbing their young bodies up against me, knocking me to the floor. It was quite apparent that this onslaught had been brought on by a lack of video games being played during the day, and the lust for some sweatry man on man WWF game action. I tried to ask why they were attacking me in such a manner, try to get to the bottom of their apparent frustration. One of the boys blamed it on a lack of females, and I could see their point. It's been a long time since the last Tomb Raider game. Their lack of female viewing in video games had turned them into sex-hungry monsters. The evil drug of gaming had ruined their once sweet, innocent minds, teaching them of the filth of womanhood, and a lust for blood and violence.
At this point I made my excuses and left.
One day amongst those animals was enough. No longer are they children, but robots, waiting to be plugged in t the next gaming experience, and unleash it upon the innocent amongst us.
All I can say is ban this sick filth before it's too late."
Next week reporter Cecil B Goodchild will be visiting an old folks home, and ask if they would be in such a state had it not have been for the evils of gaming.

You know, if you weren't such a pansy, I'd beat you like the red-headed stepchild you are.
