Becasue Computer Games are Hurting Our Children...

Weeee! Another gem from the great free country of US of A: Nintendo DS Hurting Children!

Honestly, if you have a bit of time. Read that. I'm not too sure if I should laugh of cry really. The main point of the story is basically about ABC doing this story on NDS because it can talk to other peopel who own a NDS, and some games have WiFi capability.

I kid you not. doesn't matter that the "chat" program doesn't really connect you to the internet, or that you need a "friend-code" to play games with a friend.

I'm not too sure if they even do research for stories like these anymore.

People like to sensationalise stories, so here, are games to avoid to get you child. For they are truely harmful.

Pac-man: "Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." Kristian Wilson, Nintendo, Inc, 1989.

Enough said.

Katamari Damacy: My brother called this the most violent game in the history of gaming industry. You capture items, animals, and humans using your capture device called a katamari (those darn Japanese with their weapons), sending them to vacuum of space.

Super Mario World: Eating special mushroom to give you "special ability"? Riiiiight.

Dance Dance Revolution: Psychodelic colours in a disco setting, that can never be good. Are you sure your underage child isn't in a club somewhere?

Seriously though, Katamari is addictive. Recently I FINALLY got my hand on the game. My brother and I have been sizing up things when we're driving down road. It's not really a good thing. :P

I think I've gone off topic again. I guess my point is that people are really going too overboard with the whole "there's danger everywhere" thing. Honestly nonadays everything's a potential threat. What happen to living?

And more importantly: What happened to common sense?
