Gamers Divorced From Reality?
nd01 writes "According to Gamepolitics.com, Bill OReilly has a few choice words for gamers and computer geeks in general. The well-known conservative pundit has harsh words for iPod owners, gamers, the PS3, and all of us 'disconnected from reality' by modern technological contrivances."
From the article: "Basically what you have is a large portion of the population, mostly younger people under the age of 45, who don't deal with reality — ever. So they don't know what day it is; they don't know temperature it is; they don't know what their neighbor looks like. They don't know anything... because they are constantly diverted by a machine. Now what this does is it takes a person away from reality because they've created their own reality..."
Nice threatening tone, there, Zonk. This Just In: Absolutely nobody on Earth is afraid of doughy video-game losers. Nobody. They're not afraid of you physically, and they're not afraid of your... ha ha... influence. In fact, I doubt that there are even any multi-celled organisms that fear your meaningless "wrath." Outside of your own little circle-jerk, you're viewed as being impotent, basement dwelling, pimple-faced cretins with the skin-tone of a white crayon.
But, please, don't let that stem your self-importance. Say, shouldn't you be camped out on a filthy sidewalk, wringing your pudgy hands in anticipation of the next overpriced console system?
In that case Jesus was a pansy loser too. Jesus was just a man, like Bill Clinton, John Kerry and Al Gore.
