i don't think this jacket is likely to kill people, nor do i think it is the equivalent of "beating the crap out of someone". watch the video. it looks no more dangerous than touching an electric fence. less, even. i'll grant you that accidentally grabbing an electric fence isn't super fun, but the vast majority of people are not likely to suffer harm from doing so. heck, i've been shocked worse than that on several occasions, and i'm juuuust fine.
Perhaps you would have preferred Gulags where they worked you to death, or you counted trees. (1930s Soviet Union)
at least they still had trees (present day oregon... stumps of mystery)

it's not really about whether a violent game did or did not make YOU, personally, behave violently. it's about whether or not you trust every other moron on the planet with access to violent games to handle their content responsibly. personally, i do not.
