I wish somebody would pay attention to the Surgeon General for once. He states that violent media isn't even one of the top twenty-five factors to violent behavior. Also, since the release of the Playstation which was considered the first console to have "actual violence" in more than a few games, violent crimes have steadily gone down. Especially in the video game demographic (12-35). So, say what you want, Bruckheimer. For video games hate you too.
