Who's dumb? The Sun Chain's dumb

[thebitterguy]

Well, in the wake of The Dawson College shootings people have, as normal, started to seek easy scapegoats to make themselves feel better. After the whole Goth thing got chucked out for being retarded ("Have you ever met a Goth?" someone remarked on the CBC), they once again turned to video games. Oh, man. Jack Thompsonmust be masturbating like a FIEND right now.

Naturally, the Sun chain's columnists proved they have the ability to seek righteousness at the drop of a hat, facts be damned. I think cargoweasel's comparison of them to Fox News is more apt than I'd assumed (oh, God! They have their own TV channel!). Maybe if they had more video game advertisers they would be more level headed.

For all the latest, btw, checkout gamepolitics or GP's website.

That's actually a highly significant point, methinks. Seriously, I wish I could figure out a way to get the right people thinking that.

If there was a double video game section in papers every weekend, and video game ads took up 14% of cable ad space, I'll bet the'd be real hesistant to suggest any connections. Because the one thing every reporter hates is to alienate the advertisters.
