In the year two-thousand and X!
The city was enveloped in the flames of destruction!
Buildings collapsed! The Earth cracked! And almost every living organism seemed about to perish!
"Videogames can teach you all kinds of ways to kill. You can pick someone off with a high-powered rifle, reach into a human chest and rip out a beating heart, or turn someone into a chicken." â€â€Cleveland Plain Dealer
Does anybody else think these people are getting desperate to ban video games?
Now, how can 'turning someone into a chicken' constitute as killing? I mean, they're still alive, they've just been transformed. Same thing happens in cartoons all the time.

The hysteria about videogames specifically is certainly to be expected, and in reality, the game industry doesn't have it nearly as rough as the film industry had it back in the 20's and 30's.
Yeah but the people buys the whole “Videogames make kids kill peopleâ€￾ crap…
And remember, WE ARE STUPID!!!, “WEâ€￾ means the whole world...

I'm more curious as to which video game it is exactly that teaches us mere mortals how to transform a human into a chicken.
