Kaiser Foundation Shows Little Video Game Violence Concern

Posted by Zonk on from the parents-with-their-heads-screwed-on-straight dept.

Thanks to EvilAvatar for the heads up about a new Kaiser Foundation study showing that parents are simply not worried about video game violence. "Overall parents are more concerned about inappropriate content on TV than in other media: 34% say TV concerns them most, compared to 16% who say the Internet, 10% movies, 7% music, and 5% video games."

    You don't see anyone trying to shut down the WWE, do you?

    The WWE has toned their act down considerably in the last year, under FCC pressure. They get plenty of complaints, from both the right and left.

    I used to watch semi-regularly but it got so repulsive a few years ago that I just couldn't stomach it anymore. As a parent, I'd be far less likely to let young kids watch pro wrestling than play almost all video games.
