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."

sexual favours

[buswolley]

Normal viloence is one thing. Warfare is ugly. But, i do think a game whee the goal is to rape and kill prostitutes is a bad thing. The lowest common denominator in enterainment, taking advantage of the angst men have against women for denying them sexual favours.

this doesn't belong here

Possibility 1: This is for real, and represents a threat to freedom and democracy and should be attacked with force, just as we have done with the MPAA and RIAA and Tipper Gore. Chuckling at the poor misguided Christians will not win us back our rights.

Possibility 2: This is a hoax, also known as a Troll. If it were posted as a comment it would be modded to -1. As such, it certainly shouldn't run on the front page. This places Slashdot's credibility at risk.
