Todd Hollenshead .plan update -- 6:55 pm CST, Update by The Master

ToddH updated his .plan with a pointer to the recent ABC article on game violence and it's effects.

An excellent article (thanks www.shugashack.com proving sCary *is* good for something). I'm going to get the scientific review and read it myself. As soon as I saw that silly "1,000 studies" claim I knew it would only be a matter of time before someone debunked it.

A.T. Hun comments: As interesting as it may sound, since this Prof. Jonathan Freedman's research is sponsored by the Motion Picture Association of America, you have to wonder if it's a bit biased. Having said that, the most damning evidence I've found is that the violent crime rate in the U.S. is at its lowest point in many years. Certainly if such violent media had the profound effects so many claim, the rate should be skyrocketing. It isn't. It all boils down to paranoid fascism masquerading as parenting. Sad, isn't it.
