Yes, yes, I get it, violence is bad

A quick note, violent video games are entertainment and some of them even educational to an extent. That video games (in general?) portray anti-social behavior, dunno, seems odd, cause last time I checked you actually can communicate and interact with other persons whiles gaming (perhaps the pope should get Xbox live?). Violence is not meant to be directed to children of course, it's obvious, why the hell would they otherwise place those goddamned stickers with warnings and guidelines on games?

"Any trend to produce programmes and products - including animated films and video games - which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray anti-social behaviour or the trivialization of human sexuality is a perversion, all the more repulsive when these programmes are directed at children and adolescents. How could one explain this ‘entertainment’ to the countless innocent young people who actually suffer violence, exploitation and abuse? ...Again I appeal to the leaders of the media industry to educate and encourage producers to safeguard the common good, to uphold the truth, to protect individual human dignity and promote respect for the needs of the family.

Guess I should throw away my newly bought copy of Battlefield Vietnam:REDUX. Bad Dawg*, bad.
