Its mass effect 2 all over again! Tim Inham goes up against an ignorant audience, a crazy lady and a stupid gardener in his futile war to prove them wrong

 

Prepare to be very VERY angry

Movies are just as bad. Reading a book is just as bad. Listening to shitty rap music IS JUST AS BAD!



You said to prepare to be angry. I was still unprepared for how angry I would be. My God. When people feel like they're right, no statement of fact or logic will make them change their mind.

Tim never stood a chance.



I quit watching about three minutes in. Very, very angry indeed.



I don't think I want to watch this xD I'll agree that they're addictive though, anything fun is :P

Well, too bad they weren't open for the counter-ideas. The woman is plainly going the demagogery-route, and scores with it. Although her "no violence in entertainment"-phrase should mean that she doesn't want it in Coronation Street / movies / comedies / books / whatever as well and I doubt she'll object to that.



That guy is making so many points, but they all just don't care. No matter what he does, he is wrong in their eyes.

Seems he is trying to point out that parents need to take action, while their saying that video games need to just die and the parents shouldn't have too.



video games are violent!
well so are movies
but movies have ratings!
well so do games
but you can stop children getting into cinemas! you cant stop them getting into their own home!
I.... errrrrrrr... what is this I dont even

Erm did the presenter call Modern Warfare 2 'Call of Duty 2: Modern Warfare'? lol

EDIT: having re-read the first post I know find the stupid gardener comment very funny

EDIT2: having watched it I find the crazy lady comment funny as well. She needs to learn that the violence is really and children know the difference between right and wrong(most of the time). She remembers me of some nutty woman who tried to ban the Harry potter books
