CSI Takes On Grand Theft Auto
Tycoon Guy was one of many to write "Looks like another 20 million viewers will be fed the 'video games promote violence' story tonight. Today's CSI: Miami episode will feature a group of kids who are inspired to go on a city-wide crime spree by a game that looks suspiciously like Grand Theft Auto. From the description: 'Delko witnesses a bank robbery and the CSIs soon discover that the culprits are playing out the action from the videogame 'Urban Hellraisers' on the streets of Miami. As they score points for each crime committed, the CSIs must discover what consists of getting to the next level in the game in order to stop the culprits before they strike again.'"
As long as they portray it as bad parenting and idiotic kids acting out bits from a video game. Or a book. Or a movie.
It's not that video games don't inspire mentally unstable people to do stupid things. That's a given. Mentally unstable people could find inspirations for their actions from a box of rice crispies.
It's how you portray it.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
It's actually 'exonerates'. The word is derived not from the root "honor", but rather from "onus/onera", the Latin word for "burden". So to 'exonerate' is to 'remove the burden' from someone.
