No, I'm not talking about that awesome Whitesnake song, but I wish I was.

I was listening to my local radio morning show today and they pretty much talked about nothing but the Virginia Tech shooting. They were talking to a bunch of students that were witnesses and then they talked to a couple that are from my neck of the woods, Minnesota. Later in the show they talked to some journalists from ABC and guess what was brought up? Yep, VIDEO GAMES. The woman from ABC specifically mentioned Doom and Grand Theft Auto. Keep in mind that they still don't know the motive or the shooter's background but they are already speculating and blaming video games. This is only the beginning. I'm sure we'll see a new article here on GS about Jack Thompson making some statement about video games being bad and blah, blah, blah. At least not everyone is a complete moron. One of the guys on the show made a joke about how people think all games are "evil." He said something like "yeah, I had to stop my daughter from playing that Frogger game," or something to that effect.

This is just so sad. It seems like we are getting closer and closer to a point where Mature rated games or even all video games for that matter are going to be sold like pornography behind some curtain in some store and people will be shamed for purchasing video games.
