Look what I found in Private Eye...

I was flicking through the latest edition of the UK satirical magazine Private Eye when I stumbled across this small cartoon that I thought I would share with you guys!


(Taken from Private Eye No.1209, 2nd May - 15 May 2008)

It appears to me that only the two-bit tabloids in the UK are against video games seeing as one of the country's leading political commentary magazines has recently highlighted just how ridiculous this argument really is.
Incidentaly I think this cartoon pretty much sums up our argument rather nicely. The gaming industry is not responsible for the violence on our streets; it is the fault of the thugs who are violent anyway, some people are just dicks.
