Would you believe it, another moral panic

I have just found that, to my dismay, a popular British newspaper is calling for Modern warfare 3 to be banned because it is "promoting the 7/7 bombings". Now which paper would this be, OH of course, surprise surprise it's the Daily Mail, the paper that claims toothpaste and yea can give you cancer in the long term.

It seems that today's media would rather we wrap our children up in cotton wool, whilst they show pictures of the atrocities committed by OUR troops in the protection of our oil supplies every day. If you want to ban every game that even hints at violence what's the point in allowing consoles at all, why do they think if we shoot virtual bullets at virtual people we will instantly become serial killers or as it seems now terrorists, and we will all go on murderous killing sprees. You know what, jog on, I have been playing violent games for two years, and have yet to want to go on a rampage with a little 9 mm handgun an 18 year old has bought me.

Most of us get great enjoyment out of playing violent games, playing Call of Duty actually helps me get rid of my aggression. And if you want to complain about the mental effects of a violent game, a recent study undertaken by a medical university revealed that violent films have exactly the same effect, so your argument is already invalid. Basically ignore anything the daily mail will ever tell you about video games and violence.
