Connecticut Groups Cancels Plan to Destroy Violent Games

An anonymous reader writes with an update to an earlier story about a group wanting to destroy your violent video games. "Southington, a town in Connecticut, has canceled its plans to collect and destroy violent games, stating that it has already succeeded in raising attention." Perhaps the real reason: "Backed by the Southington Chamber of Commerce, SouthingtonSOS originally planned to offer citizens $25 gift certificates in exchange for their violent games, films, and CDs, which the group would collect for 'permanent disposal.'"

Where else am I going to get $25 for my copy of Duke Nukem Forever?

Best publicity stunt yet.

1. Announce intent to do something attention-gathering.
2. Revel in the reporting.
2. Announce cancelation.

Cost: Zero.

Think they'll be mad if I put Pride and Prejudice up that it causes suicidal thoughts in young women?

Just watch out for the eight-year-old white girl in the middle of the ghetto with quantum physics books.

She's about to start some shit.
