This it so great:

Mothers Against Video Game Addiction and Violence... why, MAVAV of course...

http://www.mavav.org

Reminds me of Reefer Madness and all that stuff on Rock Music being bad bad bad :)

Make sure to check out their "resources"...

LMFAO...I'm bookmarking and printing this out for a laugh. Even though it's more scary than frightening, and yes, is very much like "Reefer Madness". I guess they left out the "fact" that their "facts" are wrong on just about all counts.

And if I was the CEO of the company that makes Duke Nukem, I'd sue the everliving crap out of them for copyright infringement... >=)

Oh yeah, they're getting an email from me...

Eh.. just another parent group that wants the world to censor everything so they don't have to go to the trouble to talk to their kids about what they see in games/TV/movies/etc.

I hear tell it's a hoax. Either that, or *this* site is a hoax:

a.parsons.edu/~dyoo/2002-3/interactivity/

From the site:

"December 30, 2002 Final Project: MAVAV.org
My MAVAV.org (Mothers Against Videogame Addiction And Violence) satire/parody/hoax web page was a success"

It was a school assignment, go figure.

Yeah there are a few giveaways in the text...

Either way, it gave me a good chuckle.

Cool picture of Doom in the resources :-D.

Why didn't they get a picture of SOF? thats always picked on lol.

Wow, I feel like I should be out there killing people. Like everyone else...

Lets face it, its a bit of a diffence when it comes from playing Doom and blasting away the whole room with a BFG9000 to aiming a pistol at someone and shooting. One you have to get the pistol and then learn how to use it, and I find them never as easy as games.

I think the parents know that there the bad people and want to blame someone else LOL... ok thats abit one minded but, this is what I think. They live in a really bad area of town and wnat it to be better and so they blame games and moives etc.

Whats so violent about games anyway? is it the fact that its more involveing that a movie? but I'm sure thats the point!
