Media Video Game Irrefutably to Blame for Child Ignoring His Mother

Posted by Jonny Diamond on Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 5:14 PM

A Boston family's precious happiness was recently corrupted by A VIDEO GAME. Yes, a Boston mother had to call 911 to get police to come to her house and persuade her 14-year-old boy to stop playing Grand Theft Auto. Friendly officer Joe Zanoli was quoted as saying: "...by no means is it surprising, especially in today's day and age when these kids play video games and computer games." Up until the very point the teenager began playing the game, the whole family had enjoyed a calm, harmonious and exceedingly civil existence. And then video games ruined everything. You'll see, they'll ruin you, too.
