A particularly appropriate saying about stats (from a wiser man than myself):
"Statistics are like a bikini: what they reveal is enticing, but what they conceal is essential."
Sideshow Bob: Because you need me, Springfield. Your guilty conscience may force you to vote Democratic, but deep down inside you secretly long for a cold-hearted Republican to lower taxes, brutalize criminals, and rule you like a king. That's why I did this: to protect you from yourselves. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a city to run.
Judge: Bailiffs, place the mayor under arrest.
Sideshow Bob: What? Oh yes, all that stuff I did.
I'm no market analyst, but it seems like a 5% drop in stock price in response to this could be the source of some tidy profit. Granted, sales may suffer (justifying the lowered price). However, the company *does* own one of the most popular video game titles/franchises in the country (world?). You can also bet that they'll actually *gain* sales in some communities that will accept (active seek, perhaps?) a little sex with their violence. This is like a super easter egg, in some ways... a feature many gamers seem to like.
Anyone going to consider picking up a little stock?
