Video Games are "Satan's Sudoku"

Ah, another week, another journalist calling out the gathering fall of our civilization because of video games.  This time it's The Time's Janice Turner, in her column titled "Xbox is crack for kids."

I guess I should be offended...after all I am one of those "evil" people who create games, and "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"

Maybe I SHOULD be offended (I haven't been called evil since I worked as a Child Support Enforcement Officer) but I'm not.  I think I actually take a perverse pleasure in seeing idiots like this spout off complete bull**** because they don't have anything worthwhile to write.  I guess feel a camaraderie with the likes of Elvis and Judas Priest, who's music was worried about by older, less blog-savvy idiots without anything worthwhile to write.   

I guess the next time I'm sitting on my couch, playing Surf's Up with my daughter, I should stop myself, turn off the 360, and fire up an episode of Teletubbies, leaving her mesmerized by the non-language babble and epilepsy-inducing trash on the screen, so that my daughter doesn't get wired into those evil brains in Montreal.
