I read on the news this morning about a controversial new video game called Man Hunt received a new rating called Adults Only because of the violence. Apparently in the game you are a scientist who has escaped from an insane asylum and is now hunting down people and entertaining his sickest fantasies. You, as the scientist get to design and carry out the fantasies.
Charming.
All I can say is - remember Mario Brothers? Mario? Luigi? The bad guys were flowers and mushrooms. Let's go back to that.
You know? I heard a speaker once say on the matter of violence today that what has happen is like a frog in boiling water. If you put a frog into boiling water it will actually jump out. But if you put a frog in warm water and turn up the heat slowly - it will quite happily boil to death. I think that is what has happened over the last 20 years. We have sat by and happily watched while things like ManHunt became entertainment.

I know! That's so sad. Our children aren't going to be able to watch tv or play any kind of game. I don't even think adults should be playing a game like that.
This is kind of on a different subject, but speaking of frogs in water, I have a really funny story to tell you sometime!
