PAPV (People Against Pixel Violence) are out in full force now that Grand Theft Auto 4 has been released. Crime rates are up, children are dropping out of school and a new generation has been introduced to violence, sex and swear words--things you just can't find anywhere else in the Internet age.

I got news for PAPV. These days kids can type before talk. They're stealing vicodin from you and are on the web watching 2 girls 1 cup and erasing the search history and cookies before you even get home from work. GTA 4 is the least of your worries.



Sometimes people say things that perfectly demonstrate the bizarre moral character of our society. Patrick Lynch, President of the NYC Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, is that person today.

As far as I can tell, I'm the only person who's connected the two quotes, made within a few days of each other. I guess spending my days scouring the web for cartoon fodder has its rewards.

Friday: poop.

Check out that old school Nintendo controller! How many kids these days would even recognize that primitive device?

Oh, and I think the Contra code is up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-a-b-a-b-start. But it's been awhile.

I stand by the code. And of course, someone without a life did a wiki entry on it

Gee, it's almost like all these people who decry video game violence as damaging children who are unable to tell reality from fantasy ... are themselves unable to tell reality from fantasy.
