I wish I could take credit for the name of this post, but I’m afriad I have to point you to the crazyness that insipred it.

In her report for the Times Online, Janice Turner takes a rather dismal and defeatist look at television and how it effects the youth in Britian. While generally not focused on video games she does mention them.

“…These are Satan’s Sudoku, crack cocaine of the brain. Even the crappiest cartoon or lamest soap teaches a child about character, plot, drama, humour, life. Playing videogames, children are mentally imprisoned, wired into their evil creators’ brains. And they play them - beepety-beep - on journeys, over family meals, any minute in which they find themselves unamused.”

Yeah, ok. She sound perfectly well balanced. Check out the article and let her know what you think in the comments.

BTW, while reading this I kept thinking of the conversation between Nigel and Austin Powers in Goldmember
