The wonder and amazement never ceases… At some part of my deep, dark psyche I actually hoped that maybe this stupid incredulous “study” that I talked about just a week or so ago would actually stop being considered newsworthy and thus just go away entirely. Then came today, while having my morning coffee (as opposed to my commute coffee, or my after-commute coffee, since after all, it IS the weekend) I discovered a featured article right on the front page at MSNBC.com!

While the article is a bit more objective than some of the others, any sort of claim that this “study” gives these crusaders against social sanity any sort of ammunition in convincing the general public of their beliefs is completely not accurate. It’s purely nothing short of propaganda and should be exposed as such. There’s nothing scientific about the study! It’s been disassembled and negated on every possible level, yet articles like this continue to present it as if it’s something worth really paying attention to. Personally, I would love to see a third-party, with no ties to either parental groups or the games industry, take a purely scientific look into this to either prove or more likely disprove this theory once and for all. By purely scientific, I mean using REAL objective data collection and analysis methods that make sense with a vastly larger sample size.

I know I’m not the only person out there who likes to draw conclusions purely based on solid FACTs, as opposed to opinions, or opinions presented as facts.
