The Joystick Is The Root of All Evil

Waab writes "David Yoo, of the Parsons School of Design has taken some time out of his busy schedule to put together one of the funniest sites I've seen all year, Mothers Against Videogame Addiction and Violence. With articles like "EverQuest: A Threat to Society?" and "America's Army: A New Low" (articles currently offline "due to editing"), MAVAV gives worried parents one more senseless cause to rally round. Even Tycho and Gabe love it."

Re:M.A.V.V. is a parody right?

Ummm acctually something did shoot at a US ship in the Gulf on Tonkin it just missed

The radar on the Turner Joy showed 'fast approaching craft', the radar on the Maddox did not. Nobody knows if anything was shot at the US boats and nothing could know given their firing rate.

However that particular issue is irrelevant since the claim made by the administration was that the North made an 'unprovoked attack' against the US ship. The fact is that the OPLAN 34A raiders shelled Hon Me and Hon Ngu, two islands controlled by the North on the 30th and 31st of July, several days before the Tonkin incident on the 4th.

Far from being an unprovoked attack the US had done everthing it could to provoke the Vietnamese by shelling them repeatedly.
