I also like the way they really kind of gloss over the whole "lifetime of physical and mental abuse...<i>BUT HE PLAYED GRAND THEFT AUTO TOO!</i>" *cue gasps, dramatic music* Why don't the sue the parents for making the kid crazy instead of the game manufacturer who has safely entertained 99.999998% of the gaming population by NOT turning them into mass-murderers? Stuff like this really burns me.
