british talk show view on games borders ridiculously stupid or surpasses it

these people have no clue about video games nowdays. None of my friends have become affected by the issues brought up in this clip so why would anybody else. Its up to the parents as to whether their kids can play the games or not, not the companies that make them. They have exactly the same ratings as films and so there is no difference. Not every game is violent so there is plenty of choice for people that don't want violence. From this clip it shows that the whole ordiance doesn't know about video games as didn't clap Tim (CVG) once.

It's not often a simple video clip makes me want to kick in my TV but that little nugget of horsesh*t was more than a little infuriating. 

I think the “interview” would be best described as an ambush. The CVG guy was under siege. He found himself in the awkward position of trying to make informed, rational, arguments to counter propaganda.

It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how fcucking stupid you are, if you shout loud enough and sound dramatic then you get taken seriously.  

This pathetic brand of thinking comes from the same PTA led division of idiocy that thinks music inspires murder and suicide. 

A child spends more time with their parents than games, music and movies rolled into one. They have more of an influence than anything else that child could ever come into contact with. But when a kid shoots his class-mates or throws himself off a bridge then it's those same parents leading the witch-hunt for a scapegoat. 

Blame is easier than responsibility. 

If games like modern warfare 2 really turn people into violent maniac's  who wanna kill people like they were Soap , then the world is in trouble .

 I thought i would have heard something about the million's of people (including myself) going on this muderous rampage.

 Or maybe games just don't make people violent

And i would also like to point something else out. 

Kids can NOT buy games rated Mature (17+) here in Canada, only their parent can get it for them. 

SO whos fault is it that the kid playing? THE PARENTS for buying the damn game! 

what if you go with the parent?

We all have to say well done to the guy from CVG, he was fighting against Alan (the host) that old hag and the audience.

I wish he had brought some DS's with Scribbulous, or what eva its called, or a Wii with Wii Sports to show everyone that there are plenty of child/family games

What difference does that make?

They still have a choice of buying it or not. They can look at the game, see the 17+ thing, and realize that the game is aimed at a mature audience. They dont have to buy it, just because the kid is there. 

I felt that was not a discussion but pure slander of the video games industry everything that Tim said was ignored and the audience clapped at alans bogus remarks about the censorship of video games saying they don't have age ratings. Cmon seriously do some research on the subject beforehand alan. But tbh we needn't worry the only people that watched it were us on youtube and OAPs who want some company from the TV as they waste away the final few years of their lives.
