It's about that time of the week where we have an ill-informed opinion on the "dangers" of videogames from someone who is completely out-of-touch with reality. Enter Liberal Democrat Baroness Walmsley, who has thrown games and DVDs in with booze, weapons, gambling and drugs as one of the things that "destroy young lives."

"Knives, guns, certain games and DVDs, alcohol, solvents and gambling," she argues, "are all very harmful and can destroy young minds and young lives." Her nobleness was joined by the Conservative Lord de Mauley who added that all those things, including games, were restricted with good reason, due to their "various harmful effects."

Of course, the House of Lords is made up primarily of very old, very rich individuals who have no idea how Britain actually works, despite their power and elevated status. The idea of these pampered nobles talking about British culture like they know a damn thing about it is pretty bloody funny. 

It's also amusing to see nobles talk about videogames destroying young minds, as if their generations of inbreeding haven't had a much worse affect on the brain.
